Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for providing tool functionalities to AI models

Readme

MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation using Node.js and Express.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard that connects AI systems with external tools and data sources. This server provides a standardized way to expose functions/tools that can be called by AI systems.

Features

  • Express-based HTTP API
  • Built-in tool registration system
  • Sample tool implementations
  • Easy extensibility
  • CORS support

Installation

# Clone the repository (if using git)
git clone [your-repo-url]
cd mcp-server

# Install dependencies
npm install

Configuration

The server uses environment variables for configuration:

  • PORT: The port on which the server will run (default: 3000)
  • NODE_ENV: The environment mode (development, production)

You can set these in the .env file.

Usage

Starting the server

# Start the server
npm start

# Start with nodemon (automatic restarts during development)
npm run dev

API Endpoints

  • GET /health: Health check endpoint
  • GET /functions: List all available tools/functions
  • POST /execute: Execute a specific function with parameters

Example usage with curl:

# Get list of available functions
curl http://localhost:3000/functions

# Execute a function
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"function_name": "echo", "parameters": {"message": "Hello, World!"}}'

Adding Custom Tools

You can add custom tools in the src/tools.js file following this format:

toolName: {
  description: "Description of what the tool does",
  execute: async (params) => {
    // Implementation
    return {
      // Result
    };
  }
}
