This is a barebones example server that demonstrates how to build an MCP server in TypeScript. It exposes a single multiplication tool, making it useful primarily as a learning reference or starter template rather than a production integration. If you're writing your first MCP server or need a minimal TypeScript example to understand the protocol structure, this gives you the essentials without extra complexity. The codebase shows the foundational patterns for registering tools and handling requests through stdio transport. Think of it as a hello world for MCP development rather than something you'd deploy for actual multiplication needs.
