@agentailor/create-mcp-server

Scaffold production-ready MCP servers in seconds.

Quick Start

Interactive mode (guided prompts):

npx @agentailor/create-mcp-server

CLI mode (all options via arguments):

npx @agentailor/create-mcp-server --name=my-server

CLI Options

Option	Short	Default	Description
--name	-n	—	Project name (required in CLI mode)
--package-manager	-p	npm	Package manager: npm, pnpm, yarn
--framework	-f	sdk	Framework: sdk, fastmcp
--template	-t	stateless	Server mode: stateless, stateful
--oauth	—	false	Enable OAuth (sdk+stateful only)
--no-git	—	false	Skip git initialization
--help	-h	—	Show help
--version	-V	—	Show version

Examples:

# Minimal - uses all defaults
npx @agentailor/create-mcp-server --name=my-server

# Full options
npx @agentailor/create-mcp-server \
  --name=my-auth-server \
  --package-manager=pnpm \
  --framework=sdk \
  --template=stateful \
  --oauth

# Short flags
npx @agentailor/create-mcp-server -n my-server -p yarn -f fastmcp

Features

• Two frameworks — Official MCP SDK or FastMCP
• Two server modes — stateless or stateful with session management
• Optional OAuth — OIDC-compliant authentication (SDK only) (setup guide)
• Package manager choice — npm, pnpm, or yarn
• TypeScript ready — ready to customize
• Docker ready — production Dockerfile included
• MCP Inspector — built-in debugging with npm run inspect

Frameworks

Framework	Description
Official MCP SDK (default)	Full control with Express.js, supports OAuth
FastMCP	Simpler API with less boilerplate

FastMCP

FastMCP is a TypeScript framework built on top of the official MCP SDK that provides a simpler, more intuitive API for building MCP servers.

import { FastMCP } from "fastmcp";
import { z } from "zod";

const server = new FastMCP({ name: "My Server", version: "1.0.0" });

server.addTool({
  name: "add",
  description: "Add two numbers",
  parameters: z.object({ a: z.number(), b: z.number() }),
  execute: async ({ a, b }) => String(a + b),
});

server.start({ transportType: "httpStream", httpStream: { port: 3000 } });

Server Modes

Feature	Stateless (default)	Stateful
Session management	—	✓
SSE support	—	✓
OAuth option (SDK only)	—	✓
Endpoints	POST /mcp	POST, GET, DELETE /mcp

Stateless: Simple HTTP server — each request creates a new transport instance.

Stateful: Session-based server with transport reuse, Server-Sent Events for real-time updates, and optional OAuth authentication (SDK only).
