MCP Skeleton

An MCP server that lets AI assistants TODO: describe the capability. TODO: summarize what you can do in one sentence.

Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible client.


Use Cases

TODO: Add 4-6 real-world examples of what users can do with this server.


Setup

Requires Node.js 18+.

1. TODO: Get an API Key (if applicable)

Describe how to obtain credentials or other service-specific requirements.

2. Configure Your MCP Client

Add the server to your MCP client's configuration. There are two ways to do this:

Option A: Run directly from GitHub (no install needed)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "<mcp-server>": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "github:<github-user>/<repo-name>"],
      "env": {
        "TODO_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option B: Clone and run locally

git clone https://github.com/<github-user>/<repo-name>.git
cd <repo-name>
npm install

Then point your MCP client at the local build:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "<mcp-server>": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/<repo-name>/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "TODO_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace /path/to/<repo-name> with the actual path where you cloned the project.
