Boilerplate is a minimal, production-ready server boilerplate for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), built with TypeScript, Zod validation, and robust error handling to accelerate development of secure MCP services.

Can I add custom tools to the Boilerplate server?

Absolutely. Boilerplate has an extensible architecture that makes it easy to add new tools. Developers can define their schemas and implement custom logic, then register them within the server structure.

Is Boilerplate suitable for production environments?

Yes, Boilerplate is designed to be production-ready. It features proper process management, graceful shutdown, and incorporates strong security measures like comprehensive input validation and error sanitization.

What core technologies does Boilerplate use?

It leverages TypeScript for full type safety, Zod for secure input validation, and implements a custom McpError for comprehensive error handling, ensuring a robust and reliable server environment.
