Introduction
xmcp is a TypeScript MCP (Model Context Protocol) framework designed to help developers build, run, and ship MCP servers with excellent developer experience. It offers file-system routing for auto-registering tools and prompts, hot reloading, middleware support, extensible configuration, and flexible deployment options including Vercel.
Key Features
- File-system routing: auto-register tools and prompts from
toolsandpromptsdirectories. - Hot reloading for rapid development iteration.
- Middleware toolkit for authentication and custom middleware.
- Extensible configuration and flexible deployment targets.
Use Cases
- Bootstrapping developer-facing tool platforms that expose custom tools and prompts as services.
- Integrating MCP capabilities into existing Next.js or Express applications as a backend extension.
- Providing a DX-focused foundation for teams to standardize tooling, auth, and deployment workflows.
Technical Highlights
- Implemented in TypeScript for strong typing and developer tooling.
- Convention-over-configuration approach simplifies registration and routing.
- MIT-licensed open source project with community-friendly contribution model.
