About @modelcontextprotocol/express

@modelcontextprotocol/express

Express adapters for the MCP TypeScript server SDK.

This package is a thin Express integration layer for @modelcontextprotocol/server.

It does not implement MCP itself. Instead, it helps you:

• create an Express app with sensible defaults for MCP servers • add DNS rebinding protection via Host header validation (recommended for localhost servers) • protect routes with requireBearerAuth (validates Authorization: Bearer … via your OAuthTokenVerifier) • serve OAuth Protected Resource Metadata (RFC 9728) via mcpAuthMetadataRouter

Install

Exports

• createMcpExpressApp(options?) • hostHeaderValidation(allowedHostnames) • localhostHostValidation() • requireBearerAuth(options) • mcpAuthMetadataRouter(options) • getOAuthProtectedResourceMetadataUrl(serverUrl) • OAuthTokenVerifier (interface)

Usage

Create an Express app (localhost DNS rebinding protection by default)

Streamable HTTP endpoint (Express)

Host header validation (DNS rebinding protection)
