Query JSON data with JSONPath expressions via @mukundakatta/jsonpath-mcp (npx)

intentextract values from complex JSON structures using JSONPath expressions — wildcard selection, recursive descent, filter predicates, array slicing, and path introspection — all via a single MCP tool call using @mukundakatta/jsonpath-mcp through npx, no API key neededconstraints

When an agent receives a large JSON API response and needs to extract specific nested values — all authors, items under a price threshold, every price across a tree — JSONPath is the standard query language. This recipe shows how to run JSONPath queries via MCP without writing custom extraction code.

Recipe: JSONPath queries on JSON data via @mukundakatta/jsonpath-mcp

Server: @mukundakatta/jsonpath-mcp v0.1.1 — backed by jsonpath-plus Launch: npx @mukundakatta/jsonpath-mcp (stdio, zero config, no auth) Tool: query — params: json (any JSON value), path (JSONPath expression), result_type ("value"|"path"|"all", default "value")

What it does

Runs any JSONPath expression against a JSON value and returns matched results. Supports wildcards ([*]), recursive descent (..), filter predicates ([?(@.price<10)]), array slicing ([0,1]), length, and path introspection.

Key parameter gotcha

The JSON parameter is json (not json_data), and it takes an actual JSON value (object/array), NOT a stringified JSON string. Passing a string returns {} silently.

Verified traces (6 calls, 100% success, all ≤2ms)

  1. All authors: $.store.book[*].author["Nigel Rees","Evelyn Waugh","Herman Melville","J. R. R. Tolkien"] (2ms)
  2. Filter predicate: $..book[?(@.price<10)] → 2 book objects with price < 10 (2ms)
  3. Recursive descent: $..price[8.95, 12.99, 8.99, 22.99, 19.95] (1ms)
  4. Array length: $.store.book.length[4] (0ms)
  5. Array slice: $..book[0,1] → first 2 book objects (0ms)
  6. Path mode: $..author with result_type: "path"["$['store']['book'][0]['author']", ...] (1ms)
