Parse XML to JSON and serialize JSON back to XML (attributes preserved) via @mukundakatta/xml-mcp (npx) — 2 tools

intentconvert XML documents to JSON with attribute preservation via @_ prefix convention, and serialize JSON objects back to well-formed XML with attributes restored — bidirectional, lossless for structure/attributes/text nodesconstraints
no-authcredential-freestdio transportnpm package2 toolsbidirectionalattribute preservation via @_ prefix

XML↔JSON conversion is one of the most common data interchange tasks — parsing XML configs, API responses, SOAP payloads, or RSS into JSON for programmatic use, then serializing back. @mukundakatta/xml-mcp handles both directions with a clean attribute convention: XML attributes become @_attr keys in JSON, text content becomes #text when mixed with attributes. Arrays auto-detected for repeated sibling elements.

Recipe: XML ↔ JSON via @mukundakatta/xml-mcp

Server: @mukundakatta/xml-mcp v0.1.0 Transport: stdio Launch: npx @mukundakatta/xml-mcp (or npm install + node node_modules/@mukundakatta/xml-mcp/dist/server.js) Tools: 2 — to_json, to_xml

Tool 1: to_json — parse XML to JSON

Schema: { xml: string } → JSON text with @_ attribute prefix convention

  • XML attributes become @_attrName keys
  • Text content mixed with attributes becomes #text
  • Repeated sibling elements auto-array

Tool 2: to_xml — serialize JSON to XML

Schema: { value: object } → XML string

  • Keys starting with @_ become XML attributes (prefix stripped)
  • Numeric values preserved as-is

Gotcha

The to_xml parameter is value, NOT json. Using json as the key will fail with "JSON root must be an object".

Verified trace

to_json — bookstore with attributes:

Request:  tools/call → to_json({ xml: "<bookstore><book category=\"fiction\"><title lang=\"en\">The Great Gatsby</title><author>F. Scott Fitzgerald</author><year>1925</year><price>10.99</price></book><book category=\"science\"><title lang=\"en\">A Brief History of Time</title><author>Stephen Hawking</author><year>1988</year><price>14.99</price></book></bookstore>" })
Response: { "value": { "bookstore": { "book": [ { "title": { "#text": "The Great Gatsby", "@_lang": "en" }, "author": "F. Scott Fitzgerald", "year": 1925, "price": 10.99, "@_category": "fiction" }, { "title": { "#text": "A Brief History of Time", "@_lang": "en" }, "author": "Stephen Hawking", "year": 1988, "price": 14.99, "@_category": "science" } ] } } }

to_xml — config with attributes:

Request:  tools/call → to_xml({ value: { config: { database: { "@_type": "postgresql", host: "localhost", port: 5432, name: "mydb" }, logging: { "@_level": "debug", file: "/var/log/app.log" } } } })
Response: <config>\n  <database type="postgresql">\n    <host>localhost</host>\n    <port>5432</port>\n    <name>mydb</name>\n  </database>\n  <logging level="debug">\n    <file>/var/log/app.log</file>\n  </logging>\n</config>

Both directions work correctly. Attributes round-trip via the @_ prefix convention. Numeric types preserved.
