LiteMCP
About This Server
A TypeScript framework for building MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers elegantly
Server Information
The webpage is a GitHub repository for LiteMCP, a TypeScript framework designed for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It outlines the framework's features, installation process, core concepts (tools, resources, prompts), server execution, debugging methods, transport options (SSE), showcases existing projects using LiteMCP, and briefly mentions the project roadmap.
ā Key Points:
- LiteMCP is a TypeScript framework for building MCP servers.
- It offers features like simple tool, resource, and prompt definition, full TypeScript support, built-in logging, error handling, a CLI for debugging, and SSE transport support.
- Key concepts include Tools (executable functions), Resources (data provided by the server), and Prompts (reusable prompt templates).
- The framework can be tested and debugged using mcp-cli or MCP Inspector.
- The server can run with stdio transport or SSE mode.
- LiteMCP aims to simplify the creation of MCP servers with a focus on TypeScript development.
- The framework provides building blocks for defining server capabilities and data.
- Emphasis is placed on ease of testing and debugging during development.
- The project is open-source and actively seeking contributions and showcasing of servers built with LiteMCP.
- Installation: `npm install litemcp zod`
- Tools: Allow servers to expose executable functions with defined parameters.
- Resources: Represent data including files, screenshots, and logs accessible via URIs.
- Prompts: Standardized prompt templates for consistent LLM interactions.
- Logging: Integrated logging with debug, info, warn, and error levels.
- SSE Transport: Supports running the server with Server-Sent Events protocol.
- Showcase: Lists projects built with LiteMCP, encouraging further submissions.
- Roadmap: Future development includes Resource Templates.

Server Features
Tools
Allows servers to expose executable functions that can be invoked by clients and used by LLMs to perform actions
Resources
Represents any kind of data that an MCP server wants to make available to clients, such as file contents, screenshots, log files, etc.
Prompts
Enables servers to define reusable prompt templates and workflows that clients can easily surface to users and LLMs, providing a way to standardize and share common LLM interactions
Logging
Send log messages to the client.
Debugging with mcp-cli
Test and debug your server with mcp-cli for testing and debugging your MCP server in the terminal
Inspect with MCP Inspector
Inspect your server with a Web UI
SSE Transport
Run the server with SSE mode
