MCP Server Starter Template
A production-ready template that collapses the first 3 hours of MCP server setup to a single clone.
Problem
Every MCP server project restarts from zero: auth wiring, structured logging, error handling, CI configuration. Teams were copying toy-example patterns and missing production concerns.
Contribution
Designed a minimal-but-complete TypeScript template with OAuth2 placeholder, structured logging, typed MCP handlers, and a GitHub Actions workflow with eval smoke tests baked in.
Outcome
Used as the starting point for [N] servers by [N] teams. [REPLACE with real numbers and a real repo link below.]
