Building MCP Servers (TypeScript)
Official walk-through for writing an MCP server in TypeScript.
Official walk-through for building an MCP server with the official SDK — now a unified tutorial covering both TypeScript and Python editions. The shortest path from 'what is MCP' to a working server Claude can call.
What it does
- Hands-on tutorial: build a simple MCP weather server exposing two tools, get_alerts and get_forecast
- Connects the finished server to a host — the tutorial uses Claude for Desktop for simplicity, and notes servers can connect to any client
- Covers core MCP concepts, testing with commands, what happens under the hood, and troubleshooting
- Versioned against the 2026-07-28 (latest) docs snapshot at the URL
When to use it
