You can build and run an MCP Client locally, using a simple stdio-based MCP server that launches the built client and connects it to your workflow. This guide shows how to build, configure, run, and debug a starter MCP server so you can experiment with client-side MCP integrations.

How to use

To use the MCP server with an MCP client, you will build the client, then start it using the local runtime. The server runs as a local process and accepts the built client as a target.

How to install

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "starter": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/starter/dist/index.mjs"]
    }
  }
}

Additional sections

Prerequisites: you need Node.js and pnpm installed on your system. You will build the client, then run the resulting code with Node.

Development workflow overview:

Build the client
Run the client as a local MCP server
Optionally debug using the MCP Inspector
Release when you are ready to publish updates

pnpm build

# run client
node dist/index.mjs path/to/build/index.js # node server

Configuration and debugging

Configure the local MCP server by specifying the stdio entry that launches the built client. The following example shows a starter server named starter that runs the built client via Node.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "starter": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/starter/dist/index.mjs"]
    }
  }
}

Debugging with MCP Inspector

For debugging, use the MCP Inspector to connect to the local MCP server and inspect client behavior.

pnpx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.mjs

Release

When you are ready to publish a new version, follow the standard release flow to package and publish the MCP server artifacts.

# first
pnpm publish
# future release
pnpm run release
