The source identifies xmcp as an MIT-licensed TypeScript MCP framework maintained by basement.studio. It provides file-system routing, hot reloading, middleware, extensible configuration, platform-flexible deployment, and Vercel support. The source does not provide specific MCP tools, transport protocols, client compatibility, or a client configuration example.
xmcp is a framework for building and shipping MCP servers with TypeScript. It is designed to streamline development and lower the barrier to creating tools in the Model Context Protocol ecosystem.
Setup
For a new application, run npx create-xmcp-app@latest. To initialize xmcp in an existing Next.js or Express project, run npx init-xmcp@latest. See xmcp.dev and its documentation for more information.
Fit and risk
Not for
- Users seeking a ready-to-connect MCP server with prebuilt business tools
- Users needing documented client compatibility, transport details, or a built-in tool inventory
Required permissions
- The README does not specify concrete runtime system, file, or network permissions
- If authentication or custom middleware is used, required permissions depend on the developer's configuration
Risks and side effects
- This is a framework for developing MCP servers, not a ready-made business-tool server
- Authentication and custom middleware must be configured by the developer, and misconfiguration may create security issues
- Deployment and platform configuration may introduce operational risks; the README does not provide specific security settings
Troubleshooting
- Confirm that the Node.js project environment and npx command are available
- Use create-xmcp-app@latest for a new project and init-xmcp@latest for an existing Next.js or Express project
- Check that the tools and prompts directories follow the file-system routing convention
- Review MCP server configuration, middleware, and deployment-platform settings
- Report security vulnerabilities to [email protected]
Use cases
