If you're building AI agents, you've probably heard of MCP (short for "Model Context Protocol"), a new open-source protocol for connecting agents to your data. MCP was created by Anthropic as an open specification, now being adopted by many tech companies. This tutorial will guide you through setting up your first MCP server using TypeScript. By the end, you'll be ready to build and connect tools to an MCP host like Claude Desktop.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) simplifies the process of enabling AI agents to interact with various tools. MCP consists of three main components:

The tools provided by an MCP server can be accessed via any MCP host, allowing developers to connect AI agents to new tools without the need for custom integration code.

In this tutorial, we'll focus on building an MCP server using the TypeScript SDK. We’ll use Claude Desktop as our host for testing.
