What is mcp?

mcp is a minimal Model Context Protocol server starter project built with the Bun JavaScript runtime. It provides a basic scaffold (index.ts) that can be configured to integrate with the Cline extension in Visual Studio Code, allowing developers to quickly create and test MCP servers for AI assistant tooling.

How to use mcp?

Install dependencies by running bun install, then start the server with bun run index.ts. To connect to Cline, edit the file ~/.vscode-server/data/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json and add a configuration entry that points to the full path of the Bun executable and the index.ts script. After saving, use the command palette to run “Cline: Refresh MCP Servers” and verify the server is running in the status bar.
