# MCP Example Server This project demonstrates a simple MCP (Model Context Protocol) server built with Node.js. It provides two tools: - `add`: Adds two numbers. - `factorial`: Calculates the factorial of a number. ## Prerequisites - [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (v18 or later recommended) - [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) (usually comes with Node.js) ## Setup 1. **Clone the repository (if applicable) or ensure you have the project files.** 2. **Navigate to the project directory:** ```bash cd path/to/mcp-example ``` 3. **Install dependencies:** ```bash npm install ``` ## Running the Server To start the MCP server, run the following command from the project's root directory: ```bash npm start ``` Alternatively, you can directly execute the server script: ```bash node mcpserver.js ``` Upon successful startup, you should see the message: `MCP Server started and connected to stdio transport.` ## Project Structure - `mcpserver.js`: The main file that sets up and runs the MCP server. - `tools.js`: Contains the `add` and `factorial` functions used by the server. - `package.json`: Defines project metadata, dependencies, and scripts. - `package-lock.json`: Records the exact versions of dependencies. - `node_modules/`: Directory where npm installs project dependencies.
