@modelcontextprotocol/server

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) TypeScript server SDK. Build MCP servers that expose tools, resources, and prompts.

[!WARNING] This is a beta release. The API surface is settling but breaking changes remain possible until v2 stabilizes. Please try it and open issues — feedback during the beta directly shapes the stable release.

[!NOTE] This is v2 of the MCP TypeScript SDK. It replaces the monolithic @modelcontextprotocol/sdk package from v1. See the migration guide if you're coming from v1.

Install

npm install @modelcontextprotocol/server@beta

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/hono, @modelcontextprotocol/node.
