ai.smithery/smithery-ai-cookbook-ts-smithery-cli

Educational examples and code snippets for building MCP servers with TypeScript and the Smithery CLI.

What is the ai.smithery/smithery-ai-cookbook-ts-smithery-cli MCP server?

The Smithery Cookbook is a collection of code examples and guides for developers building MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and clients. It provides copy-able TypeScript and Python server examples that demonstrate core MCP concepts, from basic quickstart projects to advanced session configuration and HTTP migration patterns.

This is a learning resource and template repository rather than a functional MCP server itself. It contains multiple example MCP server implementations in TypeScript and Python that you can clone, study, and adapt for your own projects. Use it to understand MCP architecture, see best practices, and accelerate your server development.

ai.smithery/smithery-ai-cookbook-ts-smithery-cli MCP server FAQ

What is the Smithery Cookbook?

It's a repository of code examples and guides for building MCP servers in TypeScript and Python. It's not a server itself, but rather a collection of templates and tutorials you can use to create your own servers.

Do I need to install anything to use the examples?

Yes. You'll need the Smithery CLI (npm install -g @smithery/cli), Node.js 18+, Python 3.12+, and a basic understanding of the Model Context Protocol.

How do I test the examples locally?

Clone the repository, navigate to an example directory, follow its README, and use `npx @smithery/cli playground --port 8081` to test interactively.

Can I deploy these examples to production?

Yes. Once you've built and tested your server, you can deploy it to Smithery's hosted platform at smithery.ai/new to share it with others.

What languages are covered?

The cookbook includes examples in both TypeScript and Python, with quickstart, session configuration, and HTTP migration patterns for each.

Is this free to use?

Yes, the Smithery Cookbook is open-source under the MIT License. Deployment to Smithery's platform may have separate terms.

Smithery Cookbook

The Smithery Cookbook provides code examples and guides designed to help developers build MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and clients, offering copy-able code snippets that you can easily integrate into your own projects.

Prerequisites

To make the most of the examples in this cookbook, you'll need:

Smithery CLI: Install with npm install -g @smithery/cli to access the interactive playground and development tools
Programming language runtimes for the examples you want to explore (Python 3.12+, Node.js 18+, etc.)
Basic understanding of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Quick Start

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/smithery-ai/smithery-cookbook.git
cd smithery-cookbook

Choose an example and follow its README:

cd servers/python/quickstart
# Follow the README.md instructions

Test with Smithery Playground:
```
npx @smithery/cli playground --port 8081
```
Note: Replace 8081 with the port your server is running on
Deploy to Smithery (optional): Ready to share your MCP server? Deploy it here to host it on Smithery's platform.
