MCPToolkit requires the zod and @modelcontextprotocol/sdk dependencies to be installed first:

npm install zod @modelcontextprotocol/sdk

A utility for quickly adding Tools to an MCP Server, enabling any MCP Clients (like Claude or Cursor) to interact with your DynamoDB Tables using natural language.

import { McpServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js'
import { MCPToolkit } from 'dynamodb-toolbox/database/actions/mcpToolkit'

// Set up your MCP Server as usual
const server = new McpServer(...)

const mcpToolkit = PokeDB.build(MCPToolkit)
mcpToolkit.addTools(server)
