Get Joke

Minimal MCP server that returns a random programming joke.

Quick Install

Automated & IDE Setup

Copy the AI prompt to install this server into Claude Code, Cursor, or another agent — or use 1-click editor setup below.

One-click editor setup isn’t available for this listing yet — we don’t have a confirmed install command, and we’d rather show nothing than point your editor at the wrong package or host. Follow the project’s own setup instructions, linked above.

Manual Client & Custom JSON ConfigExpand JSON ▾

No confirmed setup config for this listing yet. We only publish a config block when the install details come from the project itself — its README, its docs, or a verified owner. We haven’t found those for get-joke, and we’d rather show nothing than a guess you’d paste into your client. Follow the project’s own setup instructions for the current steps.

Documentation Overview

Get Joke MCP Server

Minimal Model Context Protocol (MCP) server (Node.js) that exposes one tool: get_joke.

Setup

Terminal

npm install

Run

bash

node index.js

Or:

Terminal

npm start

Test (without Inspector)

This repo includes a tiny SDK-based client that spawns the server over stdio, lists tools, and calls get_joke:

Terminal

npm run test:mcp

Tool response shape

The get_joke tool returns JSON like:

config.json

{
  "joke": "Why do programmers prefer dark mode? Because light attracts bugs."
}

Publish to the MCP Registry (official)

The official MCP Registry stores metadata only, so you must publish the package to npm first.

Publish to npm (once):

Terminal

npm adduser
npm publish --access public

Publish metadata to the MCP Registry:

bash

brew install mcp-publisher
mcp-publisher login github
mcp-publisher publish

Notes:

package.json includes mcpName and server.json uses the same name (required for verification).
If you change the version, bump it in both package.json and server.json (and republish to npm).

Frequently Asked Questions about Get Joke

We don't have a confirmed install command for get-joke yet, so we don't publish a generated one — a guessed package name would point at the wrong package or none at all. Follow the project's own README or setup instructions (https://github.com/Hamzaaamin/Get-Joke) for the current steps.
