MCP Host<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary environment on which the application or AI system runs is the MCP Host. It also handles MCP clients and gatewaying requests to various MCP servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>b. MCP Client<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The MCP Client will send requests where the application or AI system requires access to a tool, data source, or service. It interacts with MCP servers through the MCP protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>c. MCP Server<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>MCP Server is the intermediary between MCP clients and external resources. It accepts client requests, processes them, and communicates with the relevant resource to accomplish the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>d. MCP Protocol<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The MCP Protocol denotes the communication pattern between MCP consumers and MCP servers. It ensures that requests and responses are organized and understood by both parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>e. External Resources (Databases, File Systems, APIs)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Systems that host data or services are called external resources. They can be databases, file storage systems, APIs, or internet services that the MCP server accesses to satisfy client requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prerequisites for Building an MCP Server<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting your MCP server, make sure you have the following ready.

Create Project Folder &amp; Initialize Node.js<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we create a new folder in our server files to keep everything organized. We then run <strong>npm init -y <\/strong>to create a <strong>package.json file<\/strong>. This file tracks your project and the libraries that you install. And lastly, we install the <strong>ws library<\/strong> to help us build a WebSocket server that the MCP clients will connect to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>mkdir mcp-server\ncd mcp-server\nnpm init -y\nnpm install ws\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Create server.js File<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Then we create a file named <strong>server.js<\/strong> and put all our server code in it. This is similar to the server&#8217;s brain. In this case, we have instructions on how the server should behave when a client connects, sends messages, or disconnects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>const WebSocket = require('ws');\n\n\/\/ Create a WebSocket server on port 3000\nconst wss = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 3000 }, () =&gt; {\n  console.log('MCP server running on ws:\/\/localhost:3000');\n});\n\n\/\/ Handle new client connections\nwss.on('connection', (ws) =&gt; {\n  console.log('New client connected');\n\n  \/\/ Send a welcome message\n  ws.send(JSON.stringify({ message: 'Welcome to MCP server!' }));\n\n  \/\/ Handle messages from clients\n  ws.on('message', (data) =&gt; {\n    const msg = data.toString();\n    console.log('Received from client:', msg);\n\n    \/\/ Echo the message back to client\n    ws.send(JSON.stringify({ message: `Server received: ${msg}` }));\n  });\n\n  \/\/ Handle client disconnect\n  ws.on('close', () =&gt; {\n    console.log('Client disconnected');\n  });\n});\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Set Up the WebSocket Server<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>server.js<\/strong>, we make a WebSocket server on <strong>port 3000<\/strong>. That is, our server is currently waiting to accept any client attempting to connect to <strong>ws:\/\/localhost:3000<\/strong>. After the server starts, it displays a message indicating that it is running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>const WebSocket = require('ws');\n\nconst wss = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 3000 }, () =&gt; {\n  console.log('MCP server running on ws:\/\/localhost:3000');\n});\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Handle Client Connections<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The server is executed when a client connects. It records a new client connected and provides a welcome message to the Client. This is a connection between the server and the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>wss.on('connection', (ws) =&gt; {\n  console.log('New client connected');\n  ws.send(JSON.stringify({ message: 'Welcome to MCP server!' }));\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Handle Messages From Clients<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The server is waiting for messages from the Client. Upon receiving something, it logs it to the console and sends a confirmation message back to the Client. This is referred to as echoing, as it indicates that the server is communicating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>  ws.on('message', (data) =&gt; {\n    const msg = data.toString();\n    console.log('Received from client:', msg);\n    ws.send(JSON.stringify({ message: `Server received: ${msg}` }));\n  });\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Manage Client Disconnection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the Client disconnects, the server notices and records it as Client disconnected. This maintains a record of the number of clients still associated, and the server does not attempt to send any messages to a client that is already dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>  ws.on('close', () =&gt; {\n    console.log('Client disconnected');\n  });\n});\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Test With a Client File<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, we built a test client file, <strong>client.js<\/strong>, to test our server. The Client connects to the server, relays a message to it, and displays any response it receives. This will help us ensure our MCP server is operational and able to interact with customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>const WebSocket = require('ws');\n\nconst ws = new WebSocket('ws:\/\/localhost:3000');\n\nws.on('open', () =&gt; {\n  console.log('Connected to server');\n  ws.send('Hello Server!');\n});\n\nws.on('message', (data) =&gt; {\n  console.log('Received from server:', data.toString());\n});\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Boost Your Professional Career \u2013 Enroll in the <strong>Intel &amp; IITM Pravartak Certified<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guvi.in\/mlp\/artificial-intelligence-and-machine-learning?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=hyperlink&amp;utm_campaign=Build+an+MCP+Server%3A+Complete+MCP+Tutorial+for+Beginners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong> AI\/ML<\/strong> <strong>Course<\/strong> <\/a>offered by<strong> HCL GUVI<\/strong> and Start Your Journey in Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Note:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Run the server:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>node server.js<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Run the client:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>node client.js<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll see messages in both terminals showing <strong>real-time communication between server and client<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building an MCP server helps you understand how modern applications and AI systems connect with different tools and resources.
