jachy-mcp-server

Personal MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for centralized automation tools. Provides a unified interface so nanobot, Qwen, Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other AI agents can invoke the same set of tools through a single server.

Current tools

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js ≥ 22
• pnpm ≥ 9

1 — Install dependencies

pnpm install
# or
make install

2 — Configure environment variables

cp .env.example .env
# Open .env and fill in DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN

See .env.example for descriptions and links to obtain each value.

3 — Run in development mode (hot-reload)

pnpm dev
# or
make dev

4 — Build for production

pnpm build   # compiles src/ → dist/
pnpm start   # runs dist/index.js
# or
make build && make start

Adding a New Tool Domain

Full walkthrough: src/tools/_template/HOWTO.md

TL;DR — three steps, zero changes to src/index.ts:

Step 1 — Create your domain folder

cp -r src/tools/_template src/tools/github
mv src/tools/github/exampleTool.ts src/tools/github/createIssue.ts

Step 2 — Implement your tool

Edit createIssue.ts:

import { z } from 'zod';
import { type ToolDefinition } from '../../types/index.js';
import { config } from '../../core/config.js';       // ← env vars here
import { httpRequest } from '../../core/httpClient.js'; // ← HTTP here

const Schema = z.object({ repo: z.string(), title: z.string() });

export const githubCreateIssueTool: ToolDefinition = {
  name: 'github_create_issue',
  description: '...',
  inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { ... }, required: ['repo', 'title'] },
  handler: async (input) => {
    const { repo, title } = Schema.parse(input);
    // … call GitHub API …
    return `Issue created: ${url}`;
  },
};

Update src/tools/github/index.ts:

import { githubCreateIssueTool } from './createIssue.js';
export const githubTools = [githubCreateIssueTool];

Step 3 — Register in the global registry

Open src/tools/index.ts and add one line:

import { githubTools } from './github/index.js';

export const allTools: ToolDefinition[] = [
  ...discordTools,
  ...githubTools,  // ← add this
];

Done. No other file needs to change.

Architecture Rules

Integrating with AI Agents

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jachy-mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/jachy-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings (~/.cursor/mcp.json or workspace .cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jachy-mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/jachy-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

nanobot

In your nanobot config file:

{
  "mcp_servers": {
    "jachy": {
      "command": ["node", "/absolute/path/to/jachy-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using tsx for development (skip build step)

Replace node dist/index.js with npx tsx src/index.ts in any config above and omit the build step.

Development Commands

pnpm dev          # Run with hot-reload (tsx watch)
pnpm build        # Compile TypeScript → dist/
pnpm start        # Run compiled output
pnpm test         # Run tests once (vitest)
pnpm test:watch   # Run tests in watch mode
pnpm lint         # ESLint
pnpm format       # Prettier (writes in-place)

Or use make <command> for any of the above.

Setting Up a Discord Bot

1. Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications and create a New Application.
2. Under Bot, click Reset Token and copy it to DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN in .env.
3. Under OAuth2 → URL Generator, select scope bot and permission Send Messages + Create Public Threads.
4. Use the generated URL to invite the bot to your server.
5. The bot must have View Channel + Send Messages in Threads permissions on the Forum channel.
6. Enable Developer Mode in Discord (Settings → Advanced) to right-click channels and copy their IDs.
