MCPGen - MCP Server Code Generator

MCPGen — a CLI code generator for creating MCP server scaffolding — generating boilerplate code for new MCP servers in TypeScript or Python, scaffolding tool and resource definitions, creating project structure with proper configuration, and accelerating MCP server development by automating the repetitive setup of new MCP server projects.

Best When

A developer is starting a new MCP server project and wants scaffolding to avoid writing boilerplate — MCPGen generates the project structure, tool definitions, and configuration.

Avoid When

You already have an established MCP server pattern or prefer to write MCP servers from scratch.

Use Cases

  • • Scaffolding new MCP server projects from a template from development setup agents
  • • Generating typed tool definitions with parameter schemas from MCP developer agents
  • • Creating consistent MCP server boilerplate from team standardization agents
  • • Accelerating MCP development by generating handler stubs from productivity agents
  • • Building MCP servers from OpenAPI specs via code generation from API bridge agents
  • • Learning MCP server structure via generated examples from developer education agents

Not For

  • • Running MCP servers (this generates code, not runs them)
  • • Teams preferring manual MCP server setup
  • • Non-TypeScript/Python MCP development

Known Gotchas

  • ⚠ This is a code generator CLI, not an MCP server itself — use it to create MCP servers
  • ⚠ Generated code is boilerplate — significant implementation work still required
  • ⚠ Community tool — generated code quality and patterns may not follow latest MCP SDK conventions
  • ⚠ TypeScript/Node.js or Python required for generated server execution
  • ⚠ Generated schemas may need manual refinement for complex tool parameter types
  • ⚠ MCP SDK version pinned in templates may not be latest — update package.json after generation
