1. Template Generator
# Create new MCP server from template
npx create-mcp-server my-custom-server
# Choose template:
# - Basic server
# - Database server
# - API server
# - File server2. Server Generator CLI
// MCP Server Generator
class MCPServerGenerator {
async generateServer(options: {
name: string;
template: 'basic' | 'database' | 'api' | 'file';
language: 'typescript' | 'javascript' | 'python';
features: string[];
}) {
const templatePath = this.getTemplatePath(options.template);
const targetPath = `./${options.name}`;
// Copy template
await this.copyTemplate(templatePath, targetPath);
// Customize based on options
await this.customizeServer(targetPath, options);
// Install dependencies
await this.installDependencies(targetPath);
// Generate configuration
await this.generateConfig(targetPath);
}
}3. Server SDK
// MCP Server SDK
import { MCPServerBuilder } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk';
const server = new MCPServerBuilder()
.name('my-custom-server')
.version('1.0.0')
.description('Custom MCP server for specific use case')
.addTool('custom_operation', {
description: 'Perform custom operation',
inputSchema: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
input: { type: 'string' }
}
}
})
.addResource('custom_data', {
uri: 'custom://data',
name: 'Custom Data',
description: 'Custom data resource'
})
.addPrompt('custom_analysis', {
name: 'custom_analysis',
description: 'Analyze custom data'
})
.build();Integration Patterns
1. Multi-Server Architecture
{
"mcpServers": {
"database": {
"command": "mongodb-mcp-server",
"args": ["--connection-string", "${DATABASE_URL}"]
},
"storage": {
"command": "s3-mcp-server",
"args": ["--bucket", "my-bucket"],
"env": {
"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}",
"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}"
}
},
"notifications": {
"command": "slack-mcp-server",
"args": ["--token", "${SLACK_TOKEN}"]
},
"orchestrator": {
"command": "orchestrator-mcp-server",
"args": ["--config", "orchestrator.json"]
}
}
}2. Server Composition
// Server that composes other servers
class OrchestratorMCPServer {
private servers: Map<string, MCPServer> = new Map();
async initialize() {
// Initialize child servers
this.servers.set('database', new DatabaseMCPServer());
this.servers.set('storage', new StorageMCPServer());
this.servers.set('notifications', new NotificationMCPServer());
}
async callTool(name: string, args: any) {
// Route to appropriate server
if (name.startsWith('db_')) {
return await this.servers.get('database').callTool(name, args);
} else if (name.startsWith('storage_')) {
return await this.servers.get('storage').callTool(name, args);
} else if (name.startsWith('notify_')) {
return await this.servers.get('notifications').callTool(name, args);
} else {
// Handle composed operations
return await this.handleComposedOperation(name, args);
}
}
private async handleComposedOperation(name: string, args: any) {
switch (name) {
case 'backup_database':
// Compose multiple server operations
const data = await this.servers.get('database').callTool('export_data', args);
const backup = await this.servers.get('storage').callTool('upload_file', {
data: data.content,
path: `backups/backup-${Date.now()}.json`
});
await this.servers.get('notifications').callTool('send_message', {
message: `Database backup completed: ${backup.url}`
});
return backup;
}
}
}3. Server Federation
// Federation across multiple instances
class FederationMCPServer {
private instances: Map<string, RemoteMCPServer> = new Map();
async addInstance(name: string, url: string, credentials: any) {
const instance = new RemoteMCPServer(url, credentials);
await instance.connect();
this.instances.set(name, instance);
}
async discoverTools(): Promise<Tool[]> {
const allTools: Tool[] = [];
for (const [name, instance] of this.instances) {
const tools = await instance.listTools();
allTools.push(...tools.tools.map(tool => ({
...tool,
name: `${name}_${tool.name}`
})));
}
return allTools;
}
async callTool(name: string, args: any) {
const [instanceName, toolName] = name.split('_', 2);
const instance = this.instances.get(instanceName);
if (!instance) {
throw new Error(`Instance not found: ${instanceName}`);
}
return await instance.callTool(toolName, args);
}
