Deployment

Structure

In mapbox-mcp-server, we use the following structure to manage the server's handlers:

• src/server/handlers/base.ts: Base class for all handlers
• src/server/registry.ts: Registry for all handlers
• src/server/main.ts: Main entry point for the server

Each feature module follows this structure:

src/
├── types/          # Type definitions
├── schemas/
