Hello World Server

A simple MCP (Model Context Protocol) server using STDIO transport, built with TypeScript.

Features

This server exposes:

Tools

• hello - Says hello to someone (takes a name parameter)
• get_greeting - Returns a friendly greeting message (no parameters)

Resources

• server-info (info://server) - Provides information about the server

Installation

npm install

Build

npm run build

Usage

Running directly

npm start

Using with Cursor

Add this to your Cursor MCP settings (.cursor/mcp.json in your project or global settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hello-world": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["c:/Users/Mauri/CODE/surph-test-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

How it works

The server uses STDIO (standard input/output) transport to communicate with MCP clients. When a client connects, it can:

1. List available tools using tools/list
2. Call the hello tool with a name to get a personalized greeting
3. Call the get_greeting tool to get a simple greeting
4. Access the server-info resource for server information
