Developers build custom servers for AI agents using Model Context Protocol
ByPulseAugur Editorial·[16 sources]·
Developers can now build and integrate custom servers using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard that allows language models to interact with external tools and data. Several guides demonstrate how to set up MCP servers using Node.js and TypeScript, enabling functionalities like accessing local files, querying databases, and interacting with GitHub. The protocol emphasizes interoperability, safety, and scalability, allowing AI agents to perform tasks without directly executing code.

<p>You’ve heard the buzz about the Model Context Protocol (MCP) but think it’s only for large research labs. In reality, you can run a compliant MCP server on a single Node.js 22 instance and hook it into AWS without a PhD. This post shows exactly how, using only native TypeScrip…

<p>I had three MCP servers sitting in private repos — one for App Store Connect, one for Google Play Console, one wrapping Recraft's image API. All working, all tested, none of them usable by anyone but me. So I spent an afternoon getting them onto npm and the official MCP Regist…

<p>I have an MCP server that plans and publishes the posts on my own blog. It has twenty tools, which is five more than I recommend in the article where I recommend fifteen. Here is what broke, in the order I found it, ending with the one that was still broken while I was writing…
Okay, so it turns out building an MCP server is kind of easy. Now I just need to do all the associated release preparation for @ mobilebuilds before submitting to the app store. # macOSDev # iOSDev # ai # mcp # buildInPublic
