typescript-mcp-roland

# typescript-mcp-roland A simple [Model Context Protocol (MCP)][mcp] server that provides information about Roland through AI assistant interfaces. ## What It Does This MCP server exposes tools that allow AI assistants (like Claude, ChatGPT, or other MCP-enabled clients) to retrieve information about Roland. When integrated into an AI assistant, it provides a `about-roland` tool that returns biographical and professional information. ## Why This Exists This server serves as both: 1. **A functional tool**: Provides a standardized way for AI assistants to access information about Roland 2. **A reference implementation**: Demonstrates a minimal, well-structured TypeScript MCP server that can be used as a template for similar projects ## Installation ### Prerequisites - Node.js (version 18 or higher recommended) - An MCP-enabled client (Claude Desktop, Windsurf, or other MCP clients) ### Setup 1. Clone the repository: ```bash git clone <repository-url> cd typescript-mcp-roland ``` 2. Install dependencies: ```bash npm install ``` 3. Build the server: ```bash npm run build ``` 4. Update the `serverHome` path in `src/server.ts` (line 10) to match your installation location: ```typescript const serverHome = '/path/to/typescript-mcp-roland'; ``` 5. Rebuild after updating the path: ```bash npm run build ``` ### Configuration Add the server to your MCP client configuration. For most clients, add this to your MCP configuration file: ```json { "mcpServers": { "roland": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/typescript-mcp-roland/build/server.js"] } } } ``` Replace `/path/to/typescript-mcp-roland` with your actual installation path. For detailed configuration examples, see `server.json` and `mcp_config-template.json`. ## Usage Once configured, your AI assistant will have access to the `about-roland` tool. You can ask questions like: - "What can you tell me about Roland?" - "Use the about-roland tool to learn about Roland" The assistant will retrieve and present the information from the server. ## Project Resources - **Implementation Details**: See [CLAUDE.md][] for architecture and implementation documentation - **Contributing**: See [CONTRIBUTING.md][] for development workflow and how to make changes - **MCP Protocol**: Learn more at the [Model Context Protocol repository][mcp] [CLAUDE.md]: ./CLAUDE.md [CONTRIBUTING.md]: ./CONTRIBUTING.md [mcp]: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol
