import { Server } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/index.js";

const server = new Server({
  name: "my-mcp-server",
  version: "1.0.0",
});

server.setRequestHandler(ListResourcesRequestSchema, async () => {
  return { resources: [...] };
});

Conclusion

MCP servers are the future of AI integration, providing a clean and maintainable way to connect your applications with AI capabilities.
