 # mcp-typescript
-TypeScript implementation of the Model Context Protocol
+
+TypeScript implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), providing both client and server capabilities for integrating with LLM surfaces.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Model Context Protocol allows applications to provide context for LLMs in a standardized way, separating the concerns of providing context from the actual LLM interaction. This TypeScript SDK implements the full MCP specification, making it easy to:
+
+- Build MCP clients that can connect to any MCP server
+- Create MCP servers that expose resources, prompts and tools
+- Use standard transports like stdio and SSE
+- Handle all MCP protocol messages and lifecycle events
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Creating a Client
+
+```typescript
+import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client";
+import { StdioClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/stdio";
+
+const transport = new StdioClientTransport({
+  command: "path/to/server",
+});
+
+const client = new Client({
+  name: "example-client",
+  version: "1.0.0",
+});
+
+await client.connect(transport);
+
+// List available resources
+const resources = await client.request(
+  { method: "resources/list" },
+  ListResourcesResultSchema
+);
+
+// Read a specific resource
+const resourceContent = await client.request(
+  {
+    method: "resources/read",
+    params: {
+      uri: "file:///example.txt"
+    }
+  },
+  ReadResourceResultSchema
+);
+```
+
+### Creating a Server
+
+```typescript
+import { Server } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server";
+import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio";
+
+const server = new Server({
+  name: "example-server",
+  version: "1.0.0",
+});
+
+server.setRequestHandler(ListResourcesRequestSchema, async () => {
+  return {
+    resources: [
+      {
+        uri: "file:///example.txt",
+        name: "Example Resource",
+      },
+    ],
+  };
+});
+
+server.setRequestHandler(ReadResourceRequestSchema, async (request) => {
+  if (request.params.uri === "file:///example.txt") {
+    return {
+      contents: [
+        {
+          uri: "file:///example.txt",
+          mimeType: "text/plain",
+          text: "This is the content of the example resource.",
+        },
+      ],
+    };
+  } else {
+    throw new Error("Resource not found");
+  }
+});
+
+const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
+await server.connect(transport);
+```
