The supplied material identifies this as a TypeScript sample within Microsoft's MCP learning curriculum, not as a standalone MCP service with a documented tool list and connection configuration.
This is the TypeScript MCP Apps sample located at 03-GettingStarted/15-mcp-apps/code/typescript/my-app in the microsoft/mcp-for-beginners repository. The repository provides a beginner-focused MCP curriculum, code samples, and practical guides covering C#, Java, JavaScript, Rust, Python, and TypeScript, with topics including servers, clients, security, testing, deployment, and service orchestration.
Tools
The tool list has not been reviewed yet.
Setup
Follow the source README by forking and cloning the repository: git clone https://github.com/microsoft/mcp-for-beginners.git. The source does not provide a runtime command or client configuration for this sample.
Fit and risk
Not for
- Users seeking a ready-to-use production tool or business integration
- Users requiring documented tools, transport details, or client configuration
- Users without basic programming, client-server, and API knowledge
Required permissions
- The source does not specify any required system, network, account, or data permissions for the server
- Accessing the curriculum requires at least permission to read or clone the GitHub repository
Risks and side effects
- The source does not document the sample server's specific tools, runtime behavior, or permission boundaries
- The curriculum covers security, authentication, and deployment, but that does not establish that this sample implements those capabilities
- Review the sample code and dependencies before use, and avoid treating an unreviewed example as production-ready
Troubleshooting
- Verify that the repository was cloned successfully and that the sample path is 03-GettingStarted/15-mcp-apps/code/typescript/my-app
- Verify that the TypeScript configuration includes server.ts and main.ts
- If the download is too large, use the sparse-checkout procedure in the README to exclude translations and translated_images
- The source does not provide specific troubleshooting steps for runtime or connection errors
