Overview

What is Express MCP Server?

Express MCP Server is a stateless Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with Express and TypeScript. It implements a simple echo endpoint with a resource, tool, and prompt, using modern Streamable HTTP transport for LLMs to interact with external data.

How to use Express MCP Server?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with npm install, build TypeScript with npm run build, and run in development mode with npm run dev. The server exposes a POST /mcp endpoint that accepts JSON-RPC requests. Use curl to send initialize and tools/call commands as shown in the README.

Key features of Express MCP Server

Frequently asked questions

What runtime and package manager are required?

Node.js 18+ and either npm or yarn.

How do I interact with the server?

Send a POST request to `/mcp` with a JSON-RPC payload, as shown in the curl examples for initialize and tools/call.

What MCP components does the server provide?

A resource at `echo://{message}`, a tool called `echo`, and a prompt called `echo` – all echo the provided message back.

What transport does the server use?

It uses the Streamable HTTP transport for Model Context Protocol.

Is the server stateful or stateless?

It is stateless; each request is handled independently without persistent session state.
