Summary
Covers the practical patterns for building MCP servers with the Node/TypeScript SDK: registering tools, resources, and prompts, choosing between stdio for local clients like Claude Desktop and Streamable HTTP for remote ones, and handling Zod validation. The guide is honest about API churn in the SDK, repeatedly nudging you to check Context7 or the official docs for current method signatures rather than blindly copying examples. Use this when you're spinning up a new MCP server or debugging why your tools aren't showing up. The schema-first approach and separation of server logic from transport are solid architectural advice that will save you refactoring pain later.
