Documentation Overview

MCP Tool Factory (TypeScript)

Generate production-ready MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers from natural language descriptions, OpenAPI specs, database schemas, GraphQL schemas, or ontologies.

Why MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to securely connect with external data sources and tools. MCP servers expose tools that can be used by:

Claude Code and Claude Desktop
OpenAI Agents SDK
Google ADK (Agent Development Kit)
LangChain and CrewAI
Any MCP-compatible client

MCP Tool Factory lets you generate complete, production-ready MCP servers in seconds.

MCP Registry	Generates server.json for registry publishing
Is an MCP Server	Use it directly with Claude to generate servers on-the-fly

Use as MCP Server

MCP Tool Factory is itself an MCP server! Add it to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code to generate MCP servers through conversation.

Tier 1 — Zero Config (Claude Code)

Claude Code auto-injects CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN — no env vars needed:

Terminal

claude mcp add mcp-tool-factory -- node /path/to/mcp-tool-factory-ts/bin/mcp-server.js

Tier 2 — Standard (Pick a Provider)

Set one API key and go. The factory auto-detects the provider:

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code — add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json, .cursor/mcp.json, or .vscode/mcp.json):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-tool-factory": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-tool-factory-ts/bin/mcp-server.js"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Any of these API keys will work: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, GOOGLE_API_KEY, MISTRAL_API_KEY, DEEPSEEK_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY, XAI_API_KEY, AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY, COHERE_API_KEY.

Tier 3 — Full Control (Provider + Model + Budget)

Use MCP_FACTORY_PROVIDER, MCP_FACTORY_MODEL, and MCP_FACTORY_BUDGET to override auto-detection:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-tool-factory": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-tool-factory-ts/bin/mcp-server.js"],
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-key-here",
        "MCP_FACTORY_PROVIDER": "openai",
        "MCP_FACTORY_MODEL": "gpt-5.2",
        "MCP_FACTORY_BUDGET": "0.50"
      }
    }
  }
}

Env Var	Purpose	Example
`MCP_FACTORY_PROVIDER`	Override auto-detected provider	`openai`, `groq`, `deepseek`
`MCP_FACTORY_MODEL`	Override default model	`gpt-5.2`, `deepseek-chat`
`MCP_FACTORY_BUDGET`	Per-generation budget limit in USD	`0.50`

Claude Code CLI with full control:

Terminal

claude mcp add mcp-tool-factory \
  -e DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your-key \
  -e MCP_FACTORY_PROVIDER=deepseek \
  -e MCP_FACTORY_MODEL=deepseek-chat \
  -e MCP_FACTORY_BUDGET=0.25 \
  -- node /path/to/mcp-tool-factory-ts/bin/mcp-server.js

Example Conversation

You: Create an MCP server for the GitHub API with tools to list repos, create issues, and manage pull requests

Claude: Uses generate_mcp_server tool

I've generated a complete MCP server with the following tools:

list_repositories - List user repositories

create_issue - Create a new issue

list_pull_requests - List PRs for a repo

merge_pull_request - Merge a PR

Let me write these files to your project...

Quick Start

Installation

bash

# Global installation
npm install -g @heshamfsalama/mcp-tool-factory

# Or use npx
npx @heshamfsalama/mcp-tool-factory generate "Create tools for managing a todo list"

Set Your API Key

At least one provider API key is required:

server.ts

# Anthropic Claude (recommended)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-here

# Or Claude Code OAuth
export CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN=your-token-here

# Or any other supported provider
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-here
export GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-key-here
export MISTRAL_API_KEY=your-key-here
export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your-key-here
export GROQ_API_KEY=your-key-here
export XAI_API_KEY=your-key-here
export AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-here
export COHERE_API_KEY=your-key-here

Generate Your First Server

bash

# From natural language
mcp-factory generate "Create tools for fetching weather data by city and converting temperatures"

# From OpenAPI spec
mcp-factory from-openapi ./api-spec.yaml

# From database
mcp-factory from-database ./data.db

# From GraphQL schema
mcp-factory from-graphql ./schema.graphql

# From ontology
mcp-factory from-ontology ./ontology.owl --format rdf

Usage

Natural Language Generation

bash

mcp-factory generate "Create tools for managing a todo list with priorities" \
  --name todo-server \
  --output ./servers/todo \
  --web-search \
  --logging \
  --metrics

OpenAPI Specification

bash

# From local file
mcp-factory from-openapi ./openapi.yaml --name my-api-server

# With custom base URL
mcp-factory from-openapi ./spec.json --base-url https://api.example.com

Database Schema

bash

# SQLite
mcp-factory from-database ./myapp.db --tables users,posts,comments

# PostgreSQL
mcp-factory from-database "postgresql://user:pass@localhost/mydb" --type postgresql

GraphQL Schema

bash

# From a GraphQL SDL file
mcp-factory from-graphql ./schema.graphql --name my-graphql-server

# From a URL endpoint
mcp-factory from-graphql https://api.example.com/graphql --name my-api-server

GraphQL queries are mapped to read-only MCP tools, and mutations are mapped to write tools. GraphQL types are automatically converted to Zod validation schemas.

Ontology

bash

# From RDF/OWL (.owl, .rdf, .ttl)
mcp-factory from-ontology ./ontology.owl --format rdf --name knowledge-server

# From JSON-LD (.jsonld)
mcp-factory from-ontology ./schema.jsonld --format jsonld --name linked-data-server

# From custom YAML ontology
mcp-factory from-ontology ./domain.yaml --format yaml --name domain-server

OWL Classes are mapped to MCP Resources, ObjectProperties become Tools, and DataProperties become tool parameters.

Test & Serve

bash

# Run tests
mcp-factory test ./servers/my-server

# Start server for testing
mcp-factory serve ./servers/my-server

Programmatic Usage

Basic Usage

server.ts

import { ToolFactoryAgent, writeServerToDirectory, formatCost } from '@heshamfsalama/mcp-tool-factory';

// Create agent (auto-detects provider from env vars)
const agent = new ToolFactoryAgent();

// Generate from description
const server = await agent.generateFromDescription(
  'Create tools for managing a todo list with priorities',
  {
    serverName: 'todo-server',
    webSearch: true,
    parallel: true,           // Enable parallel generation (default)
    maxConcurrency: 5,        // Max concurrent LLM calls (default)
    budget: 1.00,             // Optional: abort if cost exceeds $1.00
    productionConfig: {
      enableLogging: true,
      enableMetrics: true,
    },
  }
);

// Cost tracking — see how much the generation cost
if (server.executionLog) {
  console.log(`Cost: ${formatCost(server.executionLog.totalCost)}`);
}

// Write to directory
await writeServerToDirectory(server, './servers/todo');

From OpenAPI

server.ts

import { ToolFactoryAgent, writeServerToDirectory } from '@heshamfsalama/mcp-tool-factory';
import { readFileSync } from 'fs';

  baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
});

await writeServerToDirectory(server, './servers/api');

From Database

server.ts

import { ToolFactoryAgent, writeServerToDirectory } from '@heshamfsalama/mcp-tool-factory';

const agent = new ToolFactoryAgent({ requireLlm: false });

// SQLite (auto-detected from file path)
const server = await agent.generateFromDatabase('./data/app.db', {
  serverName: 'app-database-server',
  tables: ['users', 'posts', 'comments'],
});

// PostgreSQL (auto-detected from connection string)
const pgServer = await agent.generateFromDatabase(
  'postgresql://user:pass@localhost/mydb',

import { ToolFactoryAgent, writeServerToDirectory } from '@heshamfsalama/mcp-tool-factory';
import { readFileSync } from 'fs';

const ontologyData = readFileSync('./ontology.owl', 'utf-8');
const agent = new ToolFactoryAgent({ requireLlm: false });

const server = await agent.generateFromOntology(ontologyData, {
  serverName: 'knowledge-server',
  format: 'rdf',
});

await writeServerToDirectory(server, './servers/knowledge');

Code Validation

server.ts

import { validateTypeScriptCode, validateGeneratedServer } from '@heshamfsalama/mcp-tool-factory';

// Validate TypeScript syntax
const result = await validateTypeScriptCode(code);
// { valid: false, errors: [{ line: 4, column: 1, message: "'}' expected." }] }

Production Features

Structured Logging

bash

mcp-factory generate "..." --logging

Generates servers with pino structured JSON logging:

server.ts

const logger = pino({ level: 'info' });
logger.info({ tool: 'get_weather', params }, 'Tool called');

Prometheus Metrics

bash

mcp-factory generate "..." --metrics

Generates servers with prom-client metrics:

mcp_tool_calls_total - Counter of tool invocations
mcp_tool_duration_seconds - Histogram of execution times

Rate Limiting

bash

mcp-factory generate "..." --rate-limit 100

Configurable rate limiting per client with sliding window.

Retry Logic

bash

mcp-factory generate "..." --retries

Exponential backoff retry for transient failures.

Structured Error Codes

Generated servers use structured error codes for consistent error handling:

INVALID_INPUT - Malformed or invalid tool parameters
NOT_FOUND - Requested resource does not exist
AUTH_ERROR - Authentication or authorization failure
INTERNAL_ERROR - Unexpected server error

Enhanced Health Check

The /health endpoint returns detailed server status:

config.json

{
  "status": "ok",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "uptime": 3600,
  "memory": { "rss": 52428800, "heapUsed": 20971520 },
  "transport": "streamable-http"
}

MCP Registry Publishing

Publish your generated servers to the MCP Registry for discoverability.

Generate with Registry Support

bash

mcp-factory generate "Create weather tools" \
  --name weather-server \
  --github-username your-github-username \
  --description "Weather tools for Claude" \
  --version 1.0.0

This generates registry-compliant files:

package.json:

config.json

{
  "name": "@your-github-username/weather-server",
  "mcpName": "io.github.your-github-username/weather-server"
}

server.json:

config.json

{
  "$schema": "https://static.modelcontextprotocol.io/schemas/2025-12-11/server.schema.json",
  "name": "io.github.your-github-username/weather-server",
  "packages": [{
    "registryType": "npm",
    "identifier": "@your-github-username/weather-server",
    "transport": { "type": "stdio" }
  }],
  "tools": [...]
}

Publish Workflow

bash

# 1. Build and publish to npm
cd ./servers/weather-server
npm install && npm run build
npm publish --access public

# 2. Install mcp-publisher
brew install modelcontextprotocol/tap/mcp-publisher

# 3. Authenticate
mcp-publisher login github

# 4. Publish to registry
mcp-publisher publish

Changelog

v0.3.0

Vercel AI SDK Migration - All LLM providers now use the Vercel AI SDK via a single UnifiedLLMProvider class with lazy dynamic imports. Removed ~473 LOC of provider-specific implementations. Only the @ai-sdk/* package for your chosen provider is loaded at runtime.
10 LLM Providers - Added Mistral, DeepSeek, Groq, xAI, Azure, and Cohere alongside existing Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Claude Code providers. All use the same unified interface.
Cost Tracking - Every LLM call now calculates estimated cost using a built-in pricing table for 50+ models. Shows per-call cost, total generation cost, and per-phase breakdown (tool extraction, implementation, tests, docs). Detailed token breakdowns include cache read/write tokens and reasoning tokens from the AI SDK.
Budget Limits (--budget <amount>) - Set a maximum spend in USD. Generation aborts gracefully with BudgetExceededError if cumulative cost exceeds the budget.
Provider Cost Comparison (--compare-costs) - Before generation, estimates cost across all available providers and shows a sorted comparison table. No extra API calls needed — uses the static pricing table.
Per-Phase Cost Breakdown - CLI output and execution logs show which generation steps cost the most (tool extraction, implementation, resource extraction, prompt extraction, test generation, docs generation).
OpenAI Reasoning Model Support - Temperature parameter is automatically omitted for OpenAI o-series and gpt-5.x models that don't support it.

v0.2.0

Streamable HTTP Transport - Generated servers use StreamableHTTPServerTransport with native http module instead of Express/SSE (deprecated June 2025). Single /mcp POST endpoint with /health GET endpoint.
MCP SDK v1.26.0 - Updated from ^1.0.0 to ^1.26.0
Resources & Prompts - Full support for all three MCP primitives. Resources expose structured data (documents, DB records, file trees). Prompts provide reusable templates for guided LLM workflows. Agent automatically extracts resources and prompts from descriptions via LLM.
GraphQL Input Source - New from-graphql CLI command and generate_from_graphql MCP tool. Queries map to read tools, mutations map to write tools, and GraphQL types are converted to Zod schemas.
Ontology Input Source - New from-ontology CLI command and generate_from_ontology MCP tool. Supports RDF/OWL, JSON-LD, and custom YAML formats. OWL Classes map to Resources, ObjectProperties to Tools, DataProperties to tool parameters.
LLM Response Caching - Deduplicates identical LLM calls with configurable TTL. Bypass with skipCache option.
Parallel Generation - Tool implementations generated concurrently by default (parallel: true, maxConcurrency: 5). Significant speed improvement for multi-tool servers.
InMemoryTransport Testing - Generated tests use InMemoryTransport.createLinkedPair() instead of subprocess spawning. Servers export createServer() factory function for testability.
Production Enhancements - Rate limiting, structured logging, metrics, and duration tracking wired into tool handlers. Enhanced health check with version, uptime, memory, and transport info. Structured error codes: INVALID_INPUT, NOT_FOUND, AUTH_ERROR, INTERNAL_ERROR.

Documentation Overview

MCP Tool Factory (TypeScript)

Generate production-ready MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers from natural language descriptions, OpenAPI specs, database schemas, GraphQL schemas, or ontologies.

Claude Code and Claude Desktop
OpenAI Agents SDK
Google ADK (Agent Development Kit)
LangChain and CrewAI
Any MCP-compatible client

MCP Tool Factory lets you generate complete, production-ready MCP servers in seconds.

Type Safe	Full TypeScript with strict mode
MCP Registry	Generates server.json for registry publishing
Is an MCP Server	Use it directly with Claude to generate servers on-the-fly

Use as MCP Server

MCP Tool Factory is itself an MCP server! Add it to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code to generate MCP servers through conversation.

Tier 1 — Zero Config (Claude Code)

Claude Code auto-injects CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN — no env vars needed:

Terminal

claude mcp add mcp-tool-factory -- node /path/to/mcp-tool-factory-ts/bin/mcp-server.js

Tier 2 — Standard (Pick a Provider)

Set one API key and go. The factory auto-detects the provider:

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code — add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json, .cursor/mcp.json, or .vscode/mcp.json):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-tool-factory": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-tool-factory-ts/bin/mcp-server.js"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tier 3 — Full Control (Provider + Model + Budget)

Use MCP_FACTORY_PROVIDER, MCP_FACTORY_MODEL, and MCP_FACTORY_BUDGET to override auto-detection:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-tool-factory": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-tool-factory-ts/bin/mcp-server.js"],
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-key-here",
        "MCP_FACTORY_PROVIDER": "openai",
        "MCP_FACTORY_MODEL": "gpt-5.2",
        "MCP_FACTORY_BUDGET": "0.50"
      }
    }
  }
}

Env Var	Purpose	Example
`MCP_FACTORY_PROVIDER`	Override auto-detected provider	`openai`, `groq`, `deepseek`
`MCP_FACTORY_MODEL`	Override default model	`gpt-5.2`, `deepseek-chat`
`MCP_FACTORY_BUDGET`	Per-generation budget limit in USD	`0.50`

Claude Code CLI with full control:

Terminal

claude mcp add mcp-tool-factory \
  -e DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your-key \
  -e MCP_FACTORY_PROVIDER=deepseek \
  -e MCP_FACTORY_MODEL=deepseek-chat \
  -e MCP_FACTORY_BUDGET=0.25 \
  -- node /path/to/mcp-tool-factory-ts/bin/mcp-server.js

Available Tools

Tool	Description
`generate_mcp_server`	Generate from natural language description
`generate_from_openapi`	Generate from OpenAPI specification
`generate_from_database`	Generate from database schema
`generate_from_graphql`	Generate from GraphQL schema
`generate_from_ontology`	Generate from RDF/OWL, JSON-LD, or YAML ontology
`validate_typescript`	Validate TypeScript code
`list_providers`	List available LLM providers
`get_factory_info`	Get factory capabilities

Example Conversation

You: Create an MCP server for the GitHub API with tools to list repos, create issues, and manage pull requests

Claude: Uses generate_mcp_server tool

I've generated a complete MCP server with the following tools:

list_repositories - List user repositories

create_issue - Create a new issue

list_pull_requests - List PRs for a repo

merge_pull_request - Merge a PR

Let me write these files to your project...

Quick Start

Installation

bash

# Global installation
npm install -g @heshamfsalama/mcp-tool-factory

# Or use npx
npx @heshamfsalama/mcp-tool-factory generate "Create tools for managing a todo list"

Set Your API Key

At least one provider API key is required:

server.ts

# Anthropic Claude (recommended)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-here

# Or Claude Code OAuth
export CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN=your-token-here

# Or any other supported provider
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-here
export GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-key-here
export MISTRAL_API_KEY=your-key-here
export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your-key-here
export GROQ_API_KEY=your-key-here
export XAI_API_KEY=your-key-here
export AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-here
export COHERE_API_KEY=your-key-here

Generate Your First Server

bash

# From natural language
mcp-factory generate "Create tools for fetching weather data by city and converting temperatures"

# From OpenAPI spec
mcp-factory from-openapi ./api-spec.yaml

# From database
mcp-factory from-database ./data.db

# From GraphQL schema
mcp-factory from-graphql ./schema.graphql

# From ontology
mcp-factory from-ontology ./ontology.owl --format rdf

Usage

Natural Language Generation

bash

mcp-factory generate "Create tools for managing a todo list with priorities" \
  --name todo-server \
  --output ./servers/todo \
  --web-search \
  --logging \
  --metrics

OpenAPI Specification

bash

# From local file
mcp-factory from-openapi ./openapi.yaml --name my-api-server

# With custom base URL
mcp-factory from-openapi ./spec.json --base-url https://api.example.com

Database Schema

bash

# SQLite
mcp-factory from-database ./myapp.db --tables users,posts,comments

# PostgreSQL
mcp-factory from-database "postgresql://user:pass@localhost/mydb" --type postgresql

GraphQL Schema

bash

# From a GraphQL SDL file
mcp-factory from-graphql ./schema.graphql --name my-graphql-server

# From a URL endpoint
mcp-factory from-graphql https://api.example.com/graphql --name my-api-server

GraphQL queries are mapped to read-only MCP tools, and mutations are mapped to write tools. GraphQL types are automatically converted to Zod validation schemas.

Ontology

bash

# From RDF/OWL (.owl, .rdf, .ttl)
mcp-factory from-ontology ./ontology.owl --format rdf --name knowledge-server

# From JSON-LD (.jsonld)
mcp-factory from-ontology ./schema.jsonld --format jsonld --name linked-data-server

# From custom YAML ontology
mcp-factory from-ontology ./domain.yaml --format yaml --name domain-server

OWL Classes are mapped to MCP Resources, ObjectProperties become Tools, and DataProperties become tool parameters.

Test & Serve

bash

# Run tests
mcp-factory test ./servers/my-server

# Start server for testing
mcp-factory serve ./servers/my-server

Programmatic Usage

Basic Usage

server.ts

import { ToolFactoryAgent, writeServerToDirectory, formatCost } from '@heshamfsalama/mcp-tool-factory';

// Create agent (auto-detects provider from env vars)
const agent = new ToolFactoryAgent();

// Generate from description
const server = await agent.generateFromDescription(
  'Create tools for managing a todo list with priorities',
  {
    serverName: 'todo-server',
    webSearch: true,
    parallel: true,           // Enable parallel generation (default)
    maxConcurrency: 5,        // Max concurrent LLM calls (default)
    budget: 1.00,             // Optional: abort if cost exceeds $1.00
    productionConfig: {
      enableLogging: true,
      enableMetrics: true,
    },
  }
);

// Cost tracking — see how much the generation cost
if (server.executionLog) {
  console.log(`Cost: ${formatCost(server.executionLog.totalCost)}`);
}

// Write to directory
await writeServerToDirectory(server, './servers/todo');

From OpenAPI

server.ts

import { ToolFactoryAgent, writeServerToDirectory } from '@heshamfsalama/mcp-tool-factory';
import { readFileSync } from 'fs';

  serverName: 'my-api-server',
  baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
});

await writeServerToDirectory(server, './servers/api');

From Database

server.ts

import { ToolFactoryAgent, writeServerToDirectory } from '@heshamfsalama/mcp-tool-factory';

const agent = new ToolFactoryAgent({ requireLlm: false });

// SQLite (auto-detected from file path)
const server = await agent.generateFromDatabase('./data/app.db', {
  serverName: 'app-database-server',
  tables: ['users', 'posts', 'comments'],
});

// PostgreSQL (auto-detected from connection string)
const pgServer = await agent.generateFromDatabase(
  'postgresql://user:pass@localhost/mydb',
  { serverName: 'postgres-server' }
);

await writeServerToDirectory(server, './servers/app-db');

From GraphQL

server.ts

import { ToolFactoryAgent, writeServerToDirectory } from '@heshamfsalama/mcp-tool-factory';
import { readFileSync } from 'fs';

const schema = readFileSync('./schema.graphql', 'utf-8');

const server = await agent.generateFromOntology(ontologyData, {
  serverName: 'knowledge-server',
  format: 'rdf',
});

await writeServerToDirectory(server, './servers/knowledge');

Code Validation

server.ts

import { validateTypeScriptCode, validateGeneratedServer } from '@heshamfsalama/mcp-tool-factory';

// Validate TypeScript syntax
const result = await validateTypeScriptCode(code);
// { valid: false, errors: [{ line: 4, column: 1, message: "'}' expected." }] }

// Validate complete server
const serverResult = await validateGeneratedServer(serverCode);
// { valid: true, errors: [], summary: 'Generated server code is syntactically valid' }

Production Features

Structured Logging

bash

mcp-factory generate "..." --logging

Generates servers with pino structured JSON logging:

server.ts

const logger = pino({ level: 'info' });
logger.info({ tool: 'get_weather', params }, 'Tool called');

Prometheus Metrics

bash

mcp-factory generate "..." --metrics

Generates servers with prom-client metrics:

mcp_tool_calls_total - Counter of tool invocations
mcp_tool_duration_seconds - Histogram of execution times

Rate Limiting

bash

mcp-factory generate "..." --rate-limit 100

Configurable rate limiting per client with sliding window.

Retry Logic

bash

mcp-factory generate "..." --retries

Exponential backoff retry for transient failures.

Structured Error Codes

Generated servers use structured error codes for consistent error handling:

INVALID_INPUT - Malformed or invalid tool parameters
NOT_FOUND - Requested resource does not exist
AUTH_ERROR - Authentication or authorization failure
INTERNAL_ERROR - Unexpected server error

Enhanced Health Check

The /health endpoint returns detailed server status:

config.json

{
  "status": "ok",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "uptime": 3600,
  "memory": { "rss": 52428800, "heapUsed": 20971520 },
  "transport": "streamable-http"
}

MCP Registry Publishing

Publish your generated servers to the MCP Registry for discoverability.

Generate with Registry Support

bash

mcp-factory generate "Create weather tools" \
  --name weather-server \
  --github-username your-github-username \
  --description "Weather tools for Claude" \
  --version 1.0.0

This generates registry-compliant files:

package.json:

config.json

{
  "name": "@your-github-username/weather-server",
  "mcpName": "io.github.your-github-username/weather-server"
}

server.json:

config.json

{
  "$schema": "https://static.modelcontextprotocol.io/schemas/2025-12-11/server.schema.json",
  "name": "io.github.your-github-username/weather-server",
  "packages": [{
    "registryType": "npm",
    "identifier": "@your-github-username/weather-server",
    "transport": { "type": "stdio" }
  }],
  "tools": [...]
}

Publish Workflow

bash

# 1. Build and publish to npm
cd ./servers/weather-server
npm install && npm run build
npm publish --access public

# 2. Install mcp-publisher
brew install modelcontextprotocol/tap/mcp-publisher

# 3. Authenticate
mcp-publisher login github

# 4. Publish to registry
mcp-publisher publish

See Publishing Guide for detailed instructions.

Changelog

v0.3.0

Vercel AI SDK Migration - All LLM providers now use the Vercel AI SDK via a single UnifiedLLMProvider class with lazy dynamic imports. Removed ~473 LOC of provider-specific implementations. Only the @ai-sdk/* package for your chosen provider is loaded at runtime.
10 LLM Providers - Added Mistral, DeepSeek, Groq, xAI, Azure, and Cohere alongside existing Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Claude Code providers. All use the same unified interface.
Cost Tracking - Every LLM call now calculates estimated cost using a built-in pricing table for 50+ models. Shows per-call cost, total generation cost, and per-phase breakdown (tool extraction, implementation, tests, docs). Detailed token breakdowns include cache read/write tokens and reasoning tokens from the AI SDK.
Budget Limits (--budget <amount>) - Set a maximum spend in USD. Generation aborts gracefully with BudgetExceededError if cumulative cost exceeds the budget.
Provider Cost Comparison (--compare-costs) - Before generation, estimates cost across all available providers and shows a sorted comparison table. No extra API calls needed — uses the static pricing table.
Per-Phase Cost Breakdown - CLI output and execution logs show which generation steps cost the most (tool extraction, implementation, resource extraction, prompt extraction, test generation, docs generation).
OpenAI Reasoning Model Support - Temperature parameter is automatically omitted for OpenAI o-series and gpt-5.x models that don't support it.

v0.2.0

Streamable HTTP Transport - Generated servers use StreamableHTTPServerTransport with native http module instead of Express/SSE (deprecated June 2025). Single /mcp POST endpoint with /health GET endpoint.
MCP SDK v1.26.0 - Updated from ^1.0.0 to ^1.26.0
Resources & Prompts - Full support for all three MCP primitives. Resources expose structured data (documents, DB records, file trees). Prompts provide reusable templates for guided LLM workflows. Agent automatically extracts resources and prompts from descriptions via LLM.
GraphQL Input Source - New from-graphql CLI command and generate_from_graphql MCP tool. Queries map to read tools, mutations map to write tools, and GraphQL types are converted to Zod schemas.
Ontology Input Source - New from-ontology CLI command and generate_from_ontology MCP tool. Supports RDF/OWL, JSON-LD, and custom YAML formats. OWL Classes map to Resources, ObjectProperties to Tools, DataProperties to tool parameters.
LLM Response Caching - Deduplicates identical LLM calls with configurable TTL. Bypass with skipCache option.
Parallel Generation - Tool implementations generated concurrently by default (parallel: true, maxConcurrency: 5). Significant speed improvement for multi-tool servers.
InMemoryTransport Testing - Generated tests use InMemoryTransport.createLinkedPair() instead of subprocess spawning. Servers export createServer() factory function for testability.
Production Enhancements - Rate limiting, structured logging, metrics, and duration tracking wired into tool handlers. Enhanced health check with version, uptime, memory, and transport info. Structured error codes: INVALID_INPUT, NOT_FOUND, AUTH_ERROR, INTERNAL_ERROR.
