Fast and lightweight
β
LLM-friendly functionality
Below is a demo showcasing the split functionality:

splitSplit a JSON file into a specified number of objects.
Note: The file path must be provided.
Prompt Example:
Split JSON file from /Users/json-mcp/tests/merged.json
5 objects per file
mergeMerge JSON files into a one JSON file
Note: The folder path should be provided
Prompt Example:
Merge json files from /Users/json-mcp/tests
To configure the JSON MCP server manually in VS Code, update the User Settings (JSON) file:
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"json-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["json-mcp-server@latest"]
}
}
}
}
You can install the JSON MCP server using the VS Code CLI:
# For VS Code
code --add-mcp '{"name":"json-mcp-server","command":"npx","args": ["json-mcp-server@latest"]}'
After installation, the JSON MCP server will be available for use with your GitHub Copilot agent in VS Code.
To install json-mcp for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @VadimNastoyashchy/json-mcp --client claude
npm install -g json-mcp-server@latest
json-mcp-server
npx json-mcp-server@latest

MCP server provides file I/O operations (read, write, search, metadata) as tools Claude can invoke with natural language instructions.
Protocols
Compatibility
β Use when
Use for code analysis, file organization, content search, template generation, and automating repetitive file operations. Best for local development workflows.
β Avoid when
Avoid for system-critical files, sensitive credentials, production environments, or when file integrity is paramount. Don't use on files you can't afford to lose.
