MCP Setup

For local configuration with stdio transport:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reviewwebsite": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/reviewwebsite-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "transportType": "stdio"
    }
  }
}

For remote HTTP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reviewwebsite": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:8080/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables for HTTP Transport:

You can configure the HTTP server using these environment variables:

• MCP_HTTP_HOST: The host to bind to (default: 127.0.0.1)
• MCP_HTTP_PORT: The port to listen on (default: 8080)
• MCP_HTTP_PATH: The endpoint path (default: /mcp)

Source Code Overview

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI systems to securely and contextually connect with external tools and data sources.

This boilerplate implements the MCP specification with a clean, layered architecture that can be extended to build custom MCP servers for any API or data source.

Why Use This Boilerplate?

• Production-Ready Architecture: Follows the same pattern used in published MCP servers, with clear separation between CLI, tools, controllers, and services.

• Type Safety: Built with TypeScript for improved developer experience, code quality, and maintainability.

• Working Example: Includes a fully implemented IP lookup tool demonstrating the complete pattern from CLI to API integration.

• Testing Framework: Comes with testing infrastructure for both unit and CLI integration tests, including coverage reporting.

• Development Tooling: Includes ESLint, Prettier, TypeScript, and other quality tools preconfigured for MCP server development.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (>=18.x): Download
• Git: For version control

---

Step 1: Clone and Install

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/mrgoonie/reviewwebsite-mcp-server.git
cd reviewwebsite-mcp-server

# Install dependencies
npm install

---

Step 2: Run Development Server

Start the server in development mode with stdio transport (default):

npm run dev:server

Or with the Streamable HTTP transport:

npm run dev:server:http

This starts the MCP server with hot-reloading and enables the MCP Inspector at http://localhost:5173.

⚙️ Proxy server listening on port 6277 🔍 MCP Inspector is up and running at http://127.0.0.1:6274

When using HTTP transport, the server will be available at http://127.0.0.1:8080/mcp by default.

Step 3: Test the ReviewWebsite API Tools

Use the ReviewWebsite API tools via CLI:

# Get available AI models
npm run dev:cli -- get-ai-models --api-key "your-api-key"

# Create a review
npm run dev:cli -- create-review --url "https://example.com" --instructions "Review this website" --api-key "your-api-key"

# Convert URL to Markdown
npm run dev:cli -- convert-to-markdown --url "https://example.com" --model "gpt-4o" --api-key "your-api-key"

Architecture

This boilerplate follows a clean, layered architecture pattern that separates concerns and promotes maintainability.

Layers and Responsibilities

CLI Layer (src/cli/*.cli.ts)

• Purpose: Define command-line interfaces that parse arguments and call controllers
• Naming: Files should be named <feature>.cli.ts
• Testing: CLI integration tests in <feature>.cli.test.ts

Tools Layer (src/tools/*.tool.ts)

• Purpose: Define MCP tools with schemas and descriptions for AI assistants
• Naming: Files should be named <feature>.tool.ts with types in <feature>.types.ts
• Pattern: Each tool should use zod for argument validation

Controllers Layer (src/controllers/*.controller.ts)

• Purpose: Implement business logic, handle errors, and format responses
• Naming: Files should be named <feature>.controller.ts
• Pattern: Should return standardized ControllerResponse objects

Services Layer (src/services/*.service.ts)

• Purpose: Interact with external APIs or data sources
• Naming: Files should be named <feature>.service.ts
• Pattern: Pure API interactions with minimal logic

Utils Layer (src/utils/*.util.ts)

• Purpose: Provide shared functionality across the application
• Key Utils:
  • logger.util.ts: Structured logging
  • error.util.ts: Error handling and standardization
  • formatter.util.ts: Markdown formatting helpers

Building Custom Tools

Follow these steps to add your own tools to the server:

1. Define Service Layer

Create a new service in src/services/ to interact with your external API:

// src/services/example.service.ts
import { Logger } from '../utils/logger.util.js';

const logger = Logger.forContext('services/example.service.ts');

export async function getData(param: string): Promise<any> {
	logger.debug('Getting data', { param });
	// API interaction code here
	return { result: 'example d
