What dependencies are required?

Bun is used for package management, testing, and running scripts. Node.js is needed to run the compiled server.

How do I add a new MCP tool?

Run bun run scripts/create-tool.ts <tool-name> – it creates a new tool directory with index, schema, and test files, and updates the tools index.

How do I connect this server to Claude Desktop?

Build the project with bun run build, then add an entry to Claude Desktop’s configuration with command node and args pointing to dist/main.js.

Can I publish this to npm?

Yes. Log in to npm, build the project, and run npm publish. Use bun run release to bump version numbers before publishing.

Does this server handle authentication or transport?

The README does not describe any built-in authentication or transport configuration; it is a starter template that you extend.
