@mcp-decorator/core

Core framework for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers using TypeScript decorators.

Features

• 🎨 Decorator-based API: Define commands using @Command and @Param decorators
• 🔌 Plugin System: Load pre-built plugins or create your own
• 🚀 Dual Transport: Support for both stdio and HTTP transports
• ✅ Type Safety: Full TypeScript support with Zod schema validation
• 📦 Minimal Dependencies: Only essential MCP and validation libraries

Installation

npm install @mcp-decorator/core reflect-metadata zod
# or
pnpm add @mcp-decorator/core reflect-metadata zod
# or
bun add @mcp-decorator/core reflect-metadata zod

Quick Start

1. Enable Decorators

Add to your tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true
  }
}

2. Create a Command

import "reflect-metadata";
import { Command, Param, createStdioServer } from "@mcp-decorator/core";
import { z } from "zod";

@Command("greet", "Greet a person by name")
class GreetCommand {
  @Param(z.string().describe("Name of the person to greet"))
  name!: string;

  async execute(params: { name: string }) {
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: "text",
          text: `Hello, ${params.name}!`,
        },
      ],
    };
  }
}

// Start stdio server
createStdioServer({
  name: "my-mcp-server",
  version: "1.0.0",
});

3. Run Your Server

bun run server.ts

API Reference

Decorators

@Command(type, description)

Registers a class as an MCP command. Note: This decorator only stores metadata. The actual registration happens when registerCommand() is called (automatically by the plugin system).

@Command("math.add", "Add two numbers")
class AddCommand {
  async execute(params: any) {
    // Implementation
  }
}

@Param(schema)

Defines a parameter with Zod schema validation.

@Param(z.number().describe("First number"))
a!: number;

Runtime Functions

createStdioServer(config)

Creates an MCP server using stdio transport.

await createStdioServer({
  name: "my-server",
  version: "1.0.0",
  plugins: [],
  logLevel: "info",
});

createHttpServer(config)

Creates an MCP server using HTTP transport.

await createHttpServer({
  name: "my-server",
  version: "1.0.0",
  port: 3000,
  host: "localhost",
  basePath: "",
  plugins: [],
  logLevel: "info",
});

Plugin System

Creating a Plugin

import { Plugin } from "@mcp-decorator/core";

export class MyPlugin implements Plugin {
  name = "my-plugin";
  version = "1.0.0";

  async init() {
    // Optional: Initialize resources
  }

  register() {
    // Return command classes
    return [MyCommand1, MyCommand2];
  }

  async destroy() {
    // Optional: Cleanup resources
  }
}

Using Plugins

import { MathPlugin } from "@mcp-decorator/plugin-math";

createStdioServer({
  name: "my-server",
  plugins: [new MathPlugin()],
});

Official Plugins

• @mcp-decorator/plugin-math: Basic arithmetic operations
• @mcp-decorator/plugin-filesystem: File system operations
• @mcp-decorator/plugin-http: HTTP request operations
