Sommaire
json-mcp-lite
Turn a JSON file into an MCP server in one command, so Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor or any stdio MCP client can browse and search your data.
Give it a catalogue, an FAQ, a price list or a docs index, and it creates three read-only tools:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
<name>_list | List records, with limit / offset paging |
<name>_search | Keyword search; every word must match, case-insensitive |
<name>_get | One record by its id field |
MIT licence. Node.js 20+. Two dependencies: the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk and zod.
Try it
git clone https://github.com/scoretracker4321/json-mcp-lite
cd json-mcp-lite && npm install
npm start # serves examples/products.json on stdio
npm test
Use it with Claude Desktop or Cursor
{
"mcpServers": {
"products": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/abs/path/json-mcp-lite/src/server.js",
"--file", "/abs/path/products.json",
"--name", "products",
"--id", "sku",
"--search", "title,description"
]
}
}
}
Claude Code:
claude mcp add products -- node /abs/path/json-mcp-lite/src/server.js --file /abs/path/products.json --name products --id sku
Then ask: "Which teas are under ₹400 and in stock?" or "Show me product MUG-001."
Options
| Flag | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
--file | (required) | The JSON file |
--path | root | Dot path to the array inside the file, e.g. data.items |
--name | records | Tool name prefix: products → products_list, … |
--id | id | Field used by <name>_get |
--search | all fields | Comma-separated fields that <name>_search looks in |
Need more than a JSON file?
json-mcp-lite is the free, local, single-file part of **MCP Server Kit** ($29, one-time). The Kit adds:
- Any REST API → MCP tools from its OpenAPI 3 spec: one typed tool per operation, auth injected from env, read-only filter, include/exclude lists
- Remote hosting over Streamable HTTP (stateless, proxy-friendly), not only stdio
- API-key auth and per-key rate limits, CORS,
/healthand/toolsendpoints - Several sources in one server, set up in one YAML/JSON config file
- Docker image, an Express router to mount inside your own app, and deploy guides
