Practical overview

When it fits

Use Nitrostack when building an MCP server or AI-native backend in TypeScript, especially when you want a CLI starter flow and a separate visual environment for testing.

Who it is for

  • TypeScript developers building MCP servers for compatible clients.
  • Teams structuring AI-native backends with decorators and dependency injection.
  • Developers who want a visual desktop tool to test server tools and inspect payloads.

Documented uses

  • Scaffold a new MCP server project with the CLI.
  • Define server tools, resources and prompts in TypeScript.
  • Run a project locally and connect it to an MCP-compatible client.
  • Use NitroStudio to test tools, inspect payloads and chat with a server.

Source-based practical guide

Scaffold and start a local MCP server

Create a Nitrostack project and start its development server.

Before you start

  • Node.js 20.18 or later
  • npm 9 or later

Steps

  1. Run the command below to scaffold a project.

    Documented command
    npx @nitrostack/cli init my-server

  2. Change into the project directory with cd my-server.

  3. Run the command below to install dependencies.

    Documented command
    npm install

  4. Run the command below to start the development server.

    Documented command
    npm run dev

Expected outcome

A local MCP server is running and can be connected to an MCP-compatible client.

Guide limitations

  • These steps cover local development, not production deployment.
