mcp-honojs
This server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
mcp-honojs
Hono.js middleware for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Create MCP-compatible APIs with a simple, fluent interface — no decorators required.
Features
Simple fluent API —
server.tool(),server.resource(),server.prompt()Multiple transports — SSE and HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0)
Session management — Built-in session handling with automatic cleanup
Type-safe — Full TypeScript support with comprehensive types
Zero dependencies — Only peer dependency is Hono
Lightweight — Minimal footprint, perfect for edge deployments

Installation
npm install mcp-honojs honoQuick Start
import { Hono } from 'hono';
import { McpServer } from 'mcp-honojs';
// Create MCP server
const mcp = new McpServer({
name: 'my-mcp-server',
version: '1.0.0',
});
// Register a tool
mcp.tool(
{
name: 'greet',
description: 'Greet someone by name',
inputSchema: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
name: { type: 'string', description: 'Name to greet' },
},
required: ['name'],
},
},
async (args) => {
return {
content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Hello, ${args.name}!` }],
};
}
);
// Create Hono app and attach MCP
const app = new Hono();
mcp.attach(app);
export default app;Visit your endpoints:

POST /mcp
API Reference
McpServer
Constructor
const mcp = new McpServer(options: McpServerOptions);Options:
interface McpServerOptions {
name: string; // Server name
version: string; // Server version
session?: {
timeout?: number; // Session timeout in ms (default: 30min)
cleanupInterval?: number; // Cleanup interval in ms (default: 5min)
maxSessions?: number; // Max concurrent sessions (default: 1000)
};
}Methods
tool(options, handler) — Register a tool
mcp.tool(
{
name: 'add',
description: 'Add two numbers',
inputSchema: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
a: { type: 'number' },
b: { type: 'number' },
},
required: ['a', 'b'],
},
},
async (args, context) => {
return {
content: [
{ type: 'text', text: `Result: ${args.a + args.b}` }
],
};
}
);resource(options, handler) — Register a resource
mcp.resource(
{
uri: 'example://data',
name: 'example-data',
description: 'Example data resource',
mimeType: 'application/json',
},
async (uri, context) => {
return {
contents: [
{
uri,
mimeType: 'application/json',
text: JSON.stringify({ data: 'example' }),
},
],
};
}
);prompt(options, handler) — Register a prompt
mcp.prompt(
{
name: 'welcome',
description: 'Welcome prompt',
arguments: [
{ name: 'username', description: 'User name', required: true }
],
},
async (args, context) => {
return {
messages: [
{
role: 'user',
content: {
type: 'text',
text: `Welcome, ${args.username}!`,
},
},
],
};
}
);attach(app, transportOptions?) — Attach transports to Hono app
mcp.attach(app, {
ssePath: '/sse', // SSE endpoint (default: /sse)
httpPath: '/mcp', // HTTP endpoint (default: /mcp)
});sseMiddleware(path?) — Get SSE middleware
app.use(mcp.sseMiddleware('/custom-sse'));httpMiddleware(path?) — Get HTTP middleware
app.use(mcp.httpMiddleware('/custom-mcp'));Context
Both tool and resource handlers receive a McpContext object:
interface McpContext {
sessionId?: string; // Current session ID
honoContext?: Context; // Hono request context
metadata?: Record<string, any>; // Custom metadata
}Access the Hono context for request details:
mcp.tool({ /* ... */ }, async (args, context) => {
const userAgent = context.honoContext?.req.header('user-agent');
// ...
});Type Definitions
Tool Types
interface ToolResult {
content: ToolResultContent[];
isError?: boolean;
}
interface ToolResultContent {
type: 'text' | 'image' | 'resource';
text?: string;
data?: string; // Base64 for images
mimeType?: string;
uri?: string; // For resource references
}Resource Types
interface ResourceResult {
contents: ResourceContent[];
}
interface ResourceContent {
uri: string;
mimeType?: string;
text?: string;
blob?: string; // Base64 encoded binary
}Prompt Types
interface PromptResult {
description?: string;
messages: PromptMessage[];
}
interface PromptMessage {
role: 'user' | 'assistant';
content: PromptMessageContent;
}JSON-RPC Protocol
The server implements MCP's JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol.
Supported Methods
initialize— Initialize connectiontools/list— List available toolstools/call— Execute a toolresources/list— List resourcesresources/templates/list— List resource templatesresources/read— Read a resourceprompts/list— List promptsprompts/get— Get a promptping— Health check
Example Requests
Initialize:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "initialize"
}Call a tool:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 2,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "greet",
"arguments": { "name": "Alice" }
}
}Session Management
Sessions are automatically managed:
Created on first request
Returned in
x-session-idheader (HTTP) or endpoint event (SSE)Auto-expire after timeout (default: 30 minutes)
Cleaned up periodically (default: every 5 minutes)
HTTP: Pass session ID in x-session-id header
SSE: Session is bound to the connection
