@modelcontextprotocol/server
The MCP (Model Context Protocol) TypeScript server SDK. Build MCP servers that expose tools, resources, and prompts.
This is v2 of the MCP TypeScript SDK, the stable release line, implementing the 2026-07-28 MCP spec. It replaces the single
@modelcontextprotocol/sdkpackage from v1. Start with the documentation; coming from v1, see the migration guide. Found a problem? Open an issue.
Install
npm install @modelcontextprotocol/server
TypeScript ≥6.0 no longer auto-includes @types/* — add "types": ["node"] to your tsconfig.json compilerOptions (the published .d.mts references Buffer).
Optional framework adapters: @modelcontextprotocol/express, @modelcontextprotocol/fastify, @modelcontextprotocol/hono,
@modelcontextprotocol/node.
