DYI MCP Server

The project demonstrates how to create a custom MCP server and client from the ground up without relying on third-party libraries. It also illustrates how to integrate this client with an AI agent.

This project is based on a couple of YouTube videos by Jack Herrington:

• Build a Custom MCP Server in 15 Minutes
• MCP Client Setup in 10 Minutes
• AI Tool Calling

☕ About This MCP Server

This MCP server implements a coffee shop interface that allows AI agents to:

• Browse available coffee drinks (Latte, Mocha, Flat White)
• Get detailed information about each drink including prices and descriptions

The coffee shop MCP provides a practical example of building custom MCP tools that integrate with AI agents for real-world applications.

🛠️ Core Technologies

• Node.js - JavaScript runtime.
• TypeScript - A superset of JavaScript that adds static types.
• Model Context Protocol - The protocol for building AI applications.
