Practical Notes
- Setup time ~15 minutes (clone + follow the smallest sample in the README)
- Two measurable checks: tools list returns >0, and one read-only call returns structured output
- GitHub stars + forks (verified): see Source & Thanks
The biggest MCP pitfall is treating it as ‘just another plugin’. Make it boring: define a small set of servers, lock down credentials, and require a smoke test that proves tool calls are deterministic. Use this repo to standardize the contract before you scale to more tools.
FAQ
Q: What do I get from this repo? A: An official starting point: core components, examples, and conventions you can standardize on.
Q: Do I need to adopt everything? A: No. Start with one sample, then copy only the patterns that fit your stack.
Q: How do I keep it safe? A: Treat MCP servers as privileged: restrict credentials, scope permissions, and log tool calls.
