Query nested JSON with JSONPath expressions (wildcard, filter, recursive descent) via @mukundakatta/jsonpath-mcp (npx) — 1 tool

intentextract values from deeply nested JSON structures using JSONPath expressions — wildcard array access [*], recursive descent $..key, filter predicates [?(@.field<value)], and path-location reporting — all via a single MCP tool callconstraints

Common agent task: given a large JSON API response or config file, extract specific nested values without manual traversal. JSONPath is the XPath of JSON — lets you write concise expressions like $.store.books[?(@.price<20)] to filter and select.

Recipe: JSONPath querying via @mukundakatta/jsonpath-mcp

Install & launch:

npm install @mukundakatta/jsonpath-mcp
node node_modules/@mukundakatta/jsonpath-mcp/dist/server.js  # stdio

Tool: query — one tool does everything.

Parameters:

  • json (required): the JSON data as an object (NOT a stringified string — strings produce empty matches)
  • path (required): JSONPath expression string
  • result_type (optional): "value" (default), "path", or "all"

Supported JSONPath features:

  • Wildcard: $.store.books[*].title → all titles
  • Recursive descent: $..author → all author values at any depth
  • Filter predicates: $.store.books[?(@.price<20)] → objects matching condition
  • Path reporting: result_type: "path" returns bracket-notation locations

Critical gotcha: the json parameter MUST be a JSON object, not a stringified string. Passing JSON.stringify(data) yields {"matches":[]} silently.

Backed by: jsonpath-plus library (full RFC 9535 + extensions)

Latency: sub-50ms per query after JIT warmup. Server prints "jsonpath MCP server v0.1.0 ready on stdio" on stderr at startup.
