JSON MCP Server (@gongrzhe/server-json-mcp@1.0.3)

A JSON Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for querying and manipulating JSON data. This server enables LLMs to interact with JSON data through a set of standardized tools.

Installation & Usage

bash
# Using npx with specific version (recommended)
npx @gongrzhe/server-json-mcp@1.0.3

# Install specific version globally
npm install -g @gongrzhe/server-json-mcp@1.0.3

# Run after global installation
server-json-mcp

Components

Tools

  • query

    • Query JSON data using JSONPath syntax with extended operations
    • Input:
      • url (string): URL of the JSON data source
      • jsonPath (string): JSONPath expression with optional operations
  • filter

    • Filter JSON data using conditions
    • Input:
      • url (string): URL of the JSON data source
      • jsonPath (string): Base JSONPath expression
      • condition (string): Filter condition

Supported Operations

Array Operations

  • Slicing: $[0:5], $[-3:], $[1:4]
  • Sorting: $.sort(price), $.sort(-price)
  • Distinct: $.distinct()
  • Transformations:
    • Map: $.map(fieldName)
    • Flatten: $.flatten()
    • Union: $.union([1,2,3])
    • Intersection: $.intersection([1,2,3])

Configuration

Usage with Claude Desktop

To use this server with the Claude Desktop app, add the following configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json:

json
{
  "json": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": [
      "@gongrzhe/server-json-mcp@1.0.3"
    ]
  }
}

Alternatively, you can use the node command directly if you have the package installed:

json
{
  "json": {
    "command": "node",
    "args": [
      "path/to/build/index.js"
    ]
  }
}

Development

Building from Source

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Install dependencies:
    bash
    npm install
  3. Build the project:
    bash
    npm run build

Notes

  1. All JSONPath expressions start with $ representing the root object
  2. Array indices are zero-based
  3. String values in operations should be wrapped in quotes
  4. Date operations support 'days', 'months', and 'years' units
  5. Numeric operations support basic arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /)

Use JSON Manipulation MCP with multiple AI models

TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so once JSON Manipulation is connected, you can use it with different AI models in TypingMind instead of setting it up separately for each model. This MCP runs locally through the TypingMind MCP connector on your device.

Setup guide to use the local connector

Use this when the MCP server needs access to local files, apps, or private resources on your computer.

1

Open the MCP settings

In TypingMind, go to Settings, Advanced Settings, then Model Context Protocol and choose Setup Connector.

  1. Open TypingMind in your browser.
  2. Click the Settings icon.
  3. Go to Advanced Settings.
  4. Open the Model Context Protocol section.
  5. Click Setup Connector and choose This Device.

2

Run the connector command

Choose This Device, copy the command from TypingMind, and run it in Terminal. Keep the process running while you use MCP.

  1. Copy the setup command shown by TypingMind.
  2. Open Terminal on macOS or Windows Terminal on Windows.
  3. Paste and run the command.
  4. Approve the package install if Terminal asks you to proceed.
  5. Keep the Terminal window running while using MCP tools.
3

Add JSON Manipulation as a server

When the connector status is Ready, click Edit Servers and paste the MCP server configuration.

  1. Wait until the connector status shows Ready.
  2. Click Edit Servers.
  3. Paste the JSON Manipulation MCP server configuration.
  4. Save the server list.
  5. Refresh if you want to confirm the connector is still ready.

      ]
    }
  }
}
4

Use it across models

Save the server list, open Plugins, enable the JSON Manipulation MCP tools, then select any supported AI model in TypingMind and use the tools in chat or assign them to an AI agent.

  1. Open the Plugins page in TypingMind.
  2. Enable the JSON Manipulation MCP tools.
  3. Start a chat and choose the AI model you want to use.
  4. Use the MCP tools in chat or assign them to an AI agent.
  5. Switch to another AI model whenever needed without reconnecting MCP.

Frequently asked questions

What is the JSON Manipulation MCP server used for?

JSON Manipulation is an MCP server that lets compatible AI clients connect to external tools and context. In TypingMind, you can add this MCP server once and make its tools available in your AI workspace.

Can I use JSON Manipulation MCP with multiple AI models in TypingMind?

Yes. TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so you can use JSON Manipulation with different AI models such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or other models you have configured in TypingMind without setting up the MCP server separately for each model.

Why use JSON Manipulation MCP with TypingMind?

TypingMind is one of the best frontends for LLM chat because it brings multiple AI models, prompts, plugins, AI agents, API keys, and MCP tools into one workspace. With JSON Manipulation connected, you can use its MCP tools across your preferred models while keeping your chat workflow organized in TypingMind.

How do I connect JSON Manipulation MCP to TypingMind?

JSON Manipulation runs through the TypingMind local MCP connector. This is best when the MCP server needs access to local files, desktop apps, command-line tools, or private resources on your computer.

What tools does JSON Manipulation MCP provide in TypingMind?

JSON Manipulation exposes 2 MCP tools that can be enabled from the TypingMind Plugins page and used in chat or assigned to AI agents.

Do I need to share my API keys with TypingMind to use JSON Manipulation MCP?

No. TypingMind is local-first and lets you keep your model providers, API keys, prompts, and MCP configuration under your control. If JSON Manipulation requires authentication, add the required headers, OAuth settings, or local configuration for that MCP server when you create the connection.
