## Description

A lightweight MCP server for Val Town tools that provides a simple framework for generating and calling tools, with a focus on extensibility and ease of use. The server implements standard MCP request handling for listing and calling tools, currently featuring a basic 'random_joke' tool as an example implementation. Built with TypeScript and the Model Context Protocol SDK, it serves as a minimal template for developers looking to create their own MCP-compatible tool servers.
