MCP (Model Context Protocol) server integration for typia.

createMcpServer turns a single typia controller into an MCP server. Every tool's input schema, output schema, and argument validation derives from the TypeScript types and JSDoc — no hand-written JSON schema or Zod shape anywhere. Every tool call is coerced and validated by typia, and validation failures go back to the model as self-correction feedback, exactly the loop the MCP spec recommends.

• Tools: every class method, with inputSchema, outputSchema, and structuredContent reflected from the types
• Instructions: the reflected class/interface JSDoc, shipped through the handshake
• OpenAPI: HttpLlm.controller() documents serve the same way — every operation becomes a tool calling the real endpoint, and info.version becomes the server version
• Zero extra dependencies: nothing at runtime beyond what typia already installs, plus the MCP SDK as a peer

Setup

npm install @typia/mcp @modelcontextprotocol/sdk typia
npm install -D ttsc typescript@rc

Build with ttsc, or run TypeScript directly with ttsx.

Usage

createMcpServer(controller, options?) — pass a typia.llm.controller (or an HttpLlm.controller over an OpenAPI document), connect a transport. Every method of the class becomes an MCP tool; the controller's name is the server name and its class JSDoc becomes the handshake instructions. Pass the deployed application's version through options.version; when omitted, the handshake version is the OpenAPI info.version for HTTP controllers and "1.0.0" otherwise.

import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
import { createMcpServer } from "@typia/mcp";
import typia from "typia";

/** Arithmetic tools. */
class Calculator {
  /** Add two numbers. */
  add(p: { x: number; y: number }): { value: number } {
    return { value: p.x + p.y };
  }
}

const server = createMcpServer(
  typia.llm.controller<Calculator>("calculator", new Calculator()),
  { version: "2.3.4" },
);
await server.connect(new StdioServerTransport());

Every typed tool result ships once, as structuredContent. The MCP spec also recommends a duplicate serialized-JSON text block for clients that ignore outputSchema — but that doubles the payload, and a size-capped client counts both copies. So the fallback is opt-in:

const server = createMcpServer(controller, { textFallback: true });

Results with no structured representation (void methods, errors) always keep their text content.

Validation feedback

If the LLM provides invalid arguments, the tool returns the input annotated with // ❌ markers so the model can self-correct:

{
  "name": "John",
  "age": "twenty", // ❌ [{"path":"$input.age","expected":"number"}]
  "email": "not-an-email", // ❌ [{"path":"$input.email","expected":"string & Format<\"email\">"}]
  "hobbies": "reading" // ❌ [{"path":"$input.hobbies","expected":"Array<string>"}]
}
