    • Query JSON data using JSONPath syntax with extended operations
    • Input:
      • `url` (string): URL of the JSON data source
      • `jsonPath` (string): JSONPath expression with optional operations
  • filter
    • Filter JSON data using conditions
    • Input:
      • `url` (string): URL of the JSON data source
      • `jsonPath` (string): Base JSONPath expression
      • `condition` (string): Filter condition

Array Operations

  • Slicing: `$[0:5]`, `$[-3:]`, `$[1:4]`
  • Sorting: `$.sort(price)`, `$.sort(-price)`

Configuration

Usage with Claude Desktop

To use this server with the Claude Desktop app, add the following configuration to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

json
{
  "json": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": [
      "@gongrzhe/server-json-mcp@1.0.3"
    ]
  }
}

Alternatively, you can use the node command directly if you have the package installed:

json
{
  "json": {
    "command": "node",
    "args": [
      "path/to/build/index.js"
    ]
  }
}

Development

Building from Source

1. Clone the repository

2. Install dependencies:

bash
npm install

3. Build the project:

bash
npm run build

Notes

1. All JSONPath expressions start with `$` representing the root object

2. Array indices are zero-based

3. String values in operations should be wrapped in quotes

4. Date operations support 'days', 'months', and 'years' units

5. Numeric operations support basic arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /)
