Problem
Fixes #101 - MCP servers created with mcp-framework fail when executed via
npxwith the error "Server does not support tools (required for tools/list)".The issue occurs because the current
MCPServer.resolveBasePath()method usesdirname(process.argv[1])which points to different locations when running via:npm run start(works) ✅npx package-name(fails) ❌Solution
Updated
MCPServer.resolveBasePath()to use the same intelligent resolution strategy asBaseLoader:process.cwd() + '/dist'process.argv[1]with intelligentdist/detectionChanges Made
existsSyncimport from 'fs'resolveBasePath()method with multi-stage resolution logicbasePathconfigsTesting
✅ Verified fix works with both execution methods:
npm run start- continues to worknpx package-name- now works correctlyBenefits
