MCP Server がどういったものか理解するために QuickStart をTypeScript でやってみたメモです。
環境
Claude for Mac の v0.9.3 を使います。
node と npm のバージョンは以下です。なお、Node.JS v16以上である必要があるようです。
% node -v v22.15.0
% npm -v 10.9.2
なお、Node.JS の管理には volta を使っています。
% volta -v 2.0.2
環境構築
作業ディレクトリでプロジェクトを作成します。
% mkdir weather
% cd weather
npm のプロジェクトを初期化します。
% npm init -y
MCPやTypeScriptのパッケージをインストールします。
% npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk zod % npm install -D @types/node typescript
ソースコード用のファイルのガワだけ作成します。
% mkdir src % touch src/index.ts
package.json を以下のように変更します。
{ "type": "module", "bin": { "weather": "./build/index.js" }, "scripts": { "build": "tsc && chmod 755 build/index.js" }, "files": [ "build" ], }
tsconfig.json を以下のような内容で作成します
{ "compilerOptions": { "target": "ES2022", "module": "Node16", "moduleResolution": "Node16", "outDir": "./build", "rootDir": "./src", "strict": true, "esModuleInterop": true, "skipLibCheck": true, "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true }, "include": ["src/**/*"], "exclude": ["node_modules"] }
MCP Server コード
チュートリアルのコードそのままです。
import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js"; import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js"; import { z } from "zod"; const NWS_API_BASE = "https://api.weather.gov"; const USER_AGENT = "weather-app/1.0"; // Create server instance const server = new McpServer({ name: "weather", version: "1.0.0", capabilities: { resources: {}, tools: {}, }, }); // Helper function for making NWS API requests async function makeNWSRequest<T>(url: string): Promise<T | null> { const headers = { "User-Agent": USER_AGENT, Accept: "application/geo+json", }; try { const response = await fetch(url, { headers }); if (!response.ok) { throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`); } return (await response.json()) as T; } catch (error) { console.error("Error making NWS request:", error); return null; } } interface AlertFeature { properties: { event?: string; areaDesc?: string; severity?: string; status?: string; headline?: string; }; } // Format alert data function formatAlert(feature: AlertFeature): string { const props = feature.properties; return [ `Event: ${props.event || "Unknown"}`, `Area: ${props.areaDesc || "Unknown"}`, `Severity: ${props.severity || "Unknown"}`, `Status: ${props.status || "Unknown"}`, `Headline: ${props.headline || "No headline"}`, "---", ].join("\n"); } interface ForecastPeriod { name?: string; temperature?: number; temperatureUnit?: string; windSpeed?: string; windDirection?: string; shortForecast?: string; } interface AlertsResponse { features: AlertFeature[]; } interface PointsResponse { properties: { forecast?: string; }; } interface ForecastResponse { properties: { periods: ForecastPeriod[]; }; } // Register weather tools server.tool( "get-alerts", "Get weather alerts for a state", { state: z.string().length(2).describe("Two-letter state code (e.g. CA, NY)"), }, async ({ state }) => { const stateCode = state.toUpperCase(); const alertsUrl = `${NWS_API_BASE}/alerts?area=${stateCode}`; const alertsData = await makeNWSRequest<AlertsResponse>(alertsUrl); if (!alertsData) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: "Failed to retrieve alerts data", }, ], }; } const features = alertsData.features || []; if (features.length === 0) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `No active alerts for ${stateCode}`, }, ], }; } const formattedAlerts = features.map(formatAlert); const alertsText = `Active alerts for ${stateCode}:\n\n${formattedAlerts.join("\n")}`; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: alertsText, }, ], }; }, ); server.tool( "get-forecast", "Get weather forecast for a location", { latitude: z.number().min(-90).max(90).describe("Latitude of the location"), longitude: z.number().min(-180).max(180).describe("Longitude of the location"), }, async ({ latitude, longitude }) => { // Get grid point data const pointsUrl = `${NWS_API_BASE}/points/${latitude.toFixed(4)},${longitude.toFixed(4)}`; const pointsData = await makeNWSRequest<PointsResponse>(pointsUrl); if (!pointsData) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Failed to retrieve grid point data for coordinates: ${latitude}, ${longitude}.

Claude for Desktop(Client)のセットアップ
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json を開き、以下のように記述します。
パスは適宜環境に応じて書き換えます。
{ "mcpServers": { "weather": { "command": "$HOME/.volta/bin/node", "args": [ "/path/to/weather/build/index.js" ] } } }
確認
Claude を起動します。 「weather」が選択可能になっています。


MCP Serverコード内の"get-forecast"の部分が実行されて、情報が返されているようでした。
