  "mcpServers": {
    "zip-mcp": {
      "command": "zip-mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Examples

Examples of calling tools using the MCP client:

// Compress files
await client.executeTool("compress", {
  input: "/path/to/files/or/directory",
  output: "/path/to/output.zip",
  options: {
    level: 9,
    comment: "Test compression",
    password: "secret",
    overwrite: true,
  },
});

// Decompress files
await client.executeTool("decompress", {
  input: "/path/to/archive.zip",
  output: "/path/to/extract/directory",
  options: {
    password: "secret",
    overwrite: true,
    createDirectories: true,
  },
});

// Get ZIP info
await client.executeTool("getZipInfo", {
  input: "/path/to/archive.zip",
