## FAQ

### What is FrontMCP?

FrontMCP is a TypeScript framework for building MCP servers. You define tools, resources and prompts as typed classes with Zod schemas, and FrontMCP serves them over the Model Context Protocol.

### How do I create a new FrontMCP project?

Run npx frontmcp create my-app to scaffold a new project, or npx frontmcp init to add FrontMCP to an existing one. It requires Node 24 or later.

### Where can I deploy a FrontMCP server?

The same server runs on Node.js, Vercel, AWS Lambda and Cloudflare Workers. An edge package supports Cloudflare Workers and V8 isolates.

### Does FrontMCP support authentication?

Yes. The @frontmcp/auth package provides OAuth, JWKS, DCR/CIMD, sessions and a credential vault.

### Can I test a FrontMCP server?

Yes, @frontmcp/testing provides an end-to-end test framework with fixtures and matchers, and the CLI includes a test command.
