Basic stdio server

The smallest current example built directly from the generated basic template shape.

The generated basic template already gives you the example tool:

server.tool(
  'greet',
  'Greet someone by name',
  { name: z.string().describe('Name of the person to greet') },
  async ({ name }) => ({
    content: [
      {
        type: 'text' as const,
        text: `Hello, ${name}! Welcome to ${SERVER_NAME}.`,
      },
    ],
  })
);

Why this example matters

It shows the smallest complete loop in the current toolkit:

create a project
run the dev script
confirm a tool exists
connect over stdio

Use it when

you are learning MCP basics
you want minimal generated structure
you do not need an HTTP endpoint yet

Examples

Small, repository-backed examples based on the current templates and command behavior.

HTTP server

Understand the generated HTTP template as a real route-oriented starting point.
