Create-MCP

CLI tool and scaffolding generator that creates/extents production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server projects (TypeScript) with prebuilt tools/resources/prompts and test workflows, plus commands to add additional components (tools, resources, prompts, services, transports, utils) to existing projects.

Secret Handling

TLS/auth only described at a high level for generated HTTP transport (including a flag to enable OAuth and a flag to disable DNS rebinding protection). No details are provided about TLS enforcement, CSRF/session handling, token storage, or logging. The npm manifest lists common CLI dependencies but does not provide vulnerability status or pinned versions in the provided data.

Use Cases

• Generate a starter MCP server quickly with an opinionated clean architecture template
• Learn MCP server best practices via a cohesive example that demonstrates multiple MCP capabilities
• Extend an existing MCP server with new tools/resources/prompts/transports safely with validation and backup/rollback
• Run integrated testing using MCP Inspector in HTTP/stdio modes (as described by generated scripts)

Not For

• Building a hosted SaaS API endpoint (this is a local generator/scaffolder)
• Production use without reviewing generated code and dependencies
• Environments that require a fixed, backward-compatible MCP server contract without template updates

Authentication

Methods: none for CLI scaffolding optional OAuth for generated HTTP transport (per CLI option description)

OAuth: Yes Scopes: No

Authentication is described as an option for HTTP transport in generated projects (e.g., --oauth). No explicit scope model or auth details are provided in the README excerpt.

Pricing

Free tier: No

Requires CC: No

As an npm CLI/package, cost is not described; assumes standard developer environment and dependency install costs only.

Known Gotchas

⚠ This is primarily a project generator; an agent must run the CLI locally (or in a workspace) to obtain the MCP server artifacts.
⚠ Generated projects may introduce multiple transports; agents should ensure the correct mode is tested (stdio vs HTTP vs oauth).
⚠ Component naming validation/conflict detection is mentioned; automation should handle validation failures gracefully.

Alternatives

Other MCP server boilerplate/templates (community starters) Hand-rolled MCP servers using the official MCP SDK/libraries Codemod/scaffolding tools specific to TypeScript/Node project generation Framework-level generators that do not focus on MCP Inspector-ready testing
