MCP.Pizza Chef: modelcontextprotocol

create-typescript-server is a command line interface tool designed to rapidly scaffold new MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers using TypeScript. It simplifies the initial setup by generating a ready-to-build server project with customizable name and description options. After scaffolding, developers can easily install dependencies, build, and run their MCP server projects with standard npm scripts. This tool accelerates MCP server development, enabling seamless integration with the MCP ecosystem and supporting secure, modular, and observable model interactions.
