launchery-mcp-examples

Runnable MCP examples that connect the Launchery portfolio into one practical learning path.

Problem: MCP tooling is getting better, but developers still hit the same wall: they can install a server, yet they do not see a clean end-to-end example of how multiple MCP pieces fit together in a real workflow.

Who this is for: developers, AI tool builders, and small teams exploring MCP who want working recipes instead of abstract protocol explanations.

What this repo contains

This repository is intentionally narrow: not "all MCP examples", but a small set of high-signal runnable examples built on top of existing Launchery assets.

v1.0.0 examples

Example	Focus	Source asset	What you get
Example 1 — MAX docs integration	docs server in a real client flow	max_docs_mcp	setup guide, sample MCP config, prompts
Example 2 — Custom MCP server	starter → useful custom tool	mcp-starter-typescript	customization guide, sample tool, test flow
Example 3 — MCP health-check	validate a server before wiring it in	mcp-health-check	commands, sample outputs, troubleshooting

v1.1.0 blueprints

• Example 4 — Multi-MCP setup
• Example 5 — MCP + LLM integration

Quick start

These examples assume the Launchery portfolio repos live next to this directory inside github-growth-launchery/work/:

• ../max_docs_mcp
• ../mcp-starter-typescript
• ../mcp-health-check

If you are using GitHub clones instead, replace the local sibling paths with your own checkout paths.

Fastest path

1. Build the source repo you want to demo.
2. Open the matching example directory in this repo.
3. Copy the example config / follow the commands.
4. Run the 30–60 second demo path.

Why this repo matters in the portfolio

• For the flagship: gives max_docs_mcp a practical usage surface.
• For the starter: turns mcp-starter-typescript into a teaching asset.
• For the utility: gives mcp-health-check a natural place to demonstrate value.
• For the profile: makes the Launchery portfolio feel like a connected system, not a pile of unrelated repos.

Source repositories

• max_docs_mcp
• mcp-starter-typescript
• mcp-health-check

Initial success criteria

• 3 examples are runnable with clear quickstart steps
• each example solves one concrete developer problem
• each example links back to the relevant Launchery repo
• repo README explains when to use each example
• examples stay small enough to demo in under 60 seconds each

Status

Local scaffold prepared on 2026-04-05.

What is ready now:

• repo structure for the first 3 examples;
• support files for setup/config/commands;
• draft changelog, topics, and release notes.

What still requires external GitHub action later:

• publish/push the repository;
• apply GitHub topics from TOPICS.txt;
• create the actual GitHub release from RELEASE-NOTES-v1.0.0.md.
