🤖 MCP Server

This repository contains the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server used by AI Agents. It is built using the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, which allows integration with various AI models. The project uses Node.js and TypeScript to provide a robust implementation of the MCP protocol.

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a protocol that enables standardized communication between applications and different AI models, making integration easier and more consistent.

🚀 Getting started

To start using the MCP Server, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

• Node.js version 18 or higher
• npm

Installation and build

Install dependencies and build the application:

npm install && npm run build

⚙️ MCP Server Configuration

To configure the MCP Server, you'll need to set up some environment variables. Use the .env.example file provided in the project as a reference. Copy it to a new .env file in the project root and adjust the settings as needed:

cp .env.example .env

Make sure to update the values in your .env file to match your specific environment and requirements.

🔌 Integrating with GitHub Copilot

Configuration in VS Code

The project already includes a pre-configured file for GitHub Copilot integration located in the .vscode/mcp.json folder. This is the recommended per-project configuration.

For external projects that want to use this MCP server, copy the following file to the .vscode folder of your project:

"mcp-server": {
  "type": "stdio",
  "command": "node",
  "args": ["${workspaceFolder}/build/index.js"],
  "envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.env"
}

Alternatively, you can configure Copilot globally in VS Code settings:

1. Open VS Code Settings (Ctrl+,)
2. Search for "Copilot: Plugin"
3. Click "Edit in settings.json"
4. Add the following configuration:

"github.copilot.plugins": [
  {
    "name": "MCP",
    "command": "npm run start",
    "cwd": "/path/to/your/project/mcp"
  }
]

Replace /path/to/your/project/mcp with the absolute path to your MCP project.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• If Copilot does not recognize your plugin, try restarting VS Code.
• Ensure the MCP SDK version is up to date.
• Make sure the server is running before attempting to use the tools in Copilot.

🧰 Available Tools

This project comes with example tools:

• get-alerts: Fetches weather alerts for a U.S. state.
• get-forecast: Retrieves weather forecasts for specific coordinates.

📝 Testing with GitHub Copilot

After starting the server with npm run start and configuring VS Code, you can test your tools by asking Copilot to use them:

• "Use the get-forecast tool to get the weather forecast for Detroit."
• "Fetch weather alerts for California using the get-alerts tool."

🛠️ Creating New Tools

To create a new tool:

1. Create a new file in the folder src/tools/[tool-name]/[tool-name].tool.ts
2. Use the following structure as a template:

import { z } from "zod";
import server from "../../utils/server.config.js";

server.addTool(
  "tool-name",
  "Tool description",
  {
    parameter1: z.string().describe("Description of parameter 1"),
    parameter2: z.number().describe("Description of parameter 2"),
  },
  async ({ parameter1, parameter2 }) => {
    // Tool logic here

    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: "text",
          text: "Tool result",
        },
      ],
    };
  }
);

3. Test the tool by calling it through the MCP Server API or using the provided tools.

📦 Creating New Resources

To create a new resource:

1. Create a new file in the folder src/resources/[resource-name]/[resource-name].resource.ts
2. Use the following structure as a template:

import { z } from "zod";
import server from "../../utils/server.config.js";

server.addResource(
  "resource-name",
  "Resource description",
  {
    parameter1: z.string().describe("Description of parameter 1"),
    parameter2: z.number().describe("Description of parameter 2"),
  },
  async ({ parameter1, parameter2 }) => {
    // Resource logic here

    return {
      data: {
        key: "value", // Replace with actual resource data
      },
    };
  }
);

3. Test the resource by calling it through the MCP Server API or using the provided tools.
