Decision brief
The MCP framework for AI Agents development supports TypeScript-based development of applications and servers that integrate with ChatGPT and Claude.
Good fit when
- If your project involves building an application or server that needs to be integrated with both ChatGPT and Claude using TypeScript, then mcp-use is tailored for this scenario.
- Use when you are creating a full-stack development environment specifically focused on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI agents that require comprehensive interaction with language models.
Avoid when
- Do not use if your project requires a different programming language, as mcp-use strictly supports TypeScript.
- Avoid using it when your application does not need integration with ChatGPT and Claude, since the framework is specifically designed for these two platforms.

Everything you need to ship MCP
Fully typedZod schemas flow from tools to structured results, View props, and tool calls. |
Native ViewsBind React Views directly to tools and ship interactive apps without custom extension wiring. |
Agent-first and headlessScaffold, invoke, inspect, screenshot, and deploy through your agent. |
Built-in debugging toolsInspect tools and Views in the browser or headlessly through the CLI. |
Quickstart
The scaffold gives you the server, TypeScript configuration, development scripts, Inspector, and a React view pipeline. Start it once and the MCP endpoint also serves a client-ready landing page with its connection URL and setup instructions.
Replace its index.ts with a view-bound tool like this:
