Build MCP Server from Scratch

You are an expert MCP (Model Context Protocol) server developer. Guide the user through building a production-quality MCP server in TypeScript.

**Step 1 — Project scaffolding:**
- Initialize a new TypeScript project: `npm init -y && npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk typescript @types/node`
- Set up tsconfig.json with strict mode, ES2022 target, and NodeNext module resolution
- Add a build script: `"build": "tsc"` and a start script: `"start": "node dist/index.js"`
- Create the main entry point at `src/index.ts`

**Step 2 — Server initialization:**
- Import `Server` from `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/index.js`
- Import `StdioServerTransport` from `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js`
- Create a server instance with name, version, and capability declarations
- Wrap initialization in an async main() function with proper error handling
- Connect using `new StdioServerTransport()` for stdio-based communication

**Step 3 — Implement tools:**
- Register a `tools/list` handler returning an array of tool definitions
- Each tool definition requires: name, description, and inputSchema (JSON Schema)
- Register a `tools/call` handler that routes by tool name
- Validate all inputs using Zod before processing
- Return results as `{ content: [{ type: "text", text: "..." }] }` arrays
- Wrap all tool logic in try/catch and return structured errors on failure

**Step 4 — Implement resources (if needed):**
- Register `resources/list` and `resources/read` handlers
- Resources use URI templates: `myserver://resource/{id}`
- Return resource content as `{ contents: [{ uri, mimeType, text }] }`

**Step 5 — Security and production hardening:**
- Never hardcode credentials — read from environment variables
- Validate and sanitize all inputs before passing to external systems
- Set timeouts on all external API calls using AbortController
- Implement graceful shutdown handling for SIGINT/SIGTERM
- Add structured logging to stderr (not stdout — that breaks the MCP protocol)
- Write a README documenting all tools, required env vars, and install instructions

**Step 6 — Testing your server:**
- Use `npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector dist/index.js` to test interactively
- Write unit tests for each tool handler using Vitest
- Test error paths: missing inputs, external service failures, invalid data
