Source

A TypeScript framework for building MCP servers elegantly

Catalog onlyCatalog onlySTDIO

Overview

LiteMCP is a TypeScript framework designed for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in an elegant and efficient manner.

To get started with LiteMCP, install it via npm with the command npm install litemcp zod. You can then import LiteMCP into your TypeScript project and define tools, resources, and prompts for your MCP server.

  • Full TypeScript support for robust coding. - Simple definitions for tools, resources, and prompts. - Built-in error handling to manage exceptions. - A command-line interface (CLI) for testing and debugging your server.
  1. Building custom servers for processing requests in web applications.
  2. Creating interactive experiences with LLMs (Large Language Models) using reusable prompts.
  3. Handling and serving various data types (like logs and files) through a unified protocol.

Use these steps to connect LiteMCP in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "litemcp-wong2": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-litemcp-wong2"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "litemcp-wong2": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-litemcp-wong2"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "litemcp-wong2": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-litemcp-wong2"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "litemcp-wong2": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-litemcp-wong2"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "litemcp-wong2": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-litemcp-wong2"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "litemcp-wong2": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-litemcp-wong2"
      ]
    }
  }
}

FAQ

Does LiteMCP support languages other than TypeScript?

Currently, LiteMCP is designed specifically for TypeScript, leveraging its features for better server development.

Is there a built-in way to test my server?

Yes! You can use the provided CLI commands, such as `npx litemcp dev server.js`, to test and debug your servers easily.

Can I integrate other libraries with LiteMCP?

Absolutely! You can integrate any npm library alongside LiteMCP to extend its functionality.7:["$","div",null,{"className":"container mx-auto flex flex-col gap-4","children":["$L26","$L27",["$","$L28",null,{"currentProject":{"id":115,"uuid":"1d761e8d-4174-45d6-b842-d57f93e19cf9","name":"litemcp","title":"LiteMCP","description":"A TypeScript framework for building MCP servers elegantly","avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/321947?v=4","created_at":"2024-12-13T09:01:06.323Z","updated_at":"2024-12-13T09:39:16.982Z","status":"created","author_name":"wong2","author_avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/321947?v=4","tags":"typescript,mcp,typescript-library,model-context-protocol","category":"developer-tools","is_featured":false,"sort":1,"url":"https://github.com/wong2/litemcp","target":"_self","content":"$29","summary":"$2a","img_url":null,"type":null,"metadata":"{\"star\":\"174\",\"license\":\"MIT license\",\"language\":\"TypeScript\",\"is_official\":false,\"latest_commit_time\":\"2025-04-27 11:30:13\"}","user_uuid":null,"tools":null,"sse_url":null,"sse_provider":null,"sse_params":null,"is_official":false,"server_command":null,"server_params":null,"server_config":null,"allow_call":false,"is_innovation":false,"is_dxt":false,"dxt_manifest":null,"dxt_file_url":null,"is_audit":false},"randomProjects":[],"currentServerKey":"$undefined"}]]}]
