Render Mustache templates with JSON data, sections, loops, conditionals, and partials via @mukundakatta/mustache-mcp (npx) — 1 tool

intentrender Mustache/Handlebars-style templates with variable interpolation, section blocks for loops and conditionals, inverted sections for falsy values, and named partials for template composition — all from a single MCP tool callconstraints

Template rendering is essential for agent pipelines that generate emails, reports, notifications, code snippets, or any structured text from data. @mukundakatta/mustache-mcp wraps the Mustache.js engine as a single MCP tool with full spec support: {{variable}} interpolation, {{#section}} blocks for loops/truthy, {{^section}} for inverted/falsy, and {{>partial}} includes via an optional partials map. One tool, sub-millisecond, no auth.

Recipe: Mustache template rendering via @mukundakatta/mustache-mcp

Server: @mukundakatta/mustache-mcp v0.1.0 Transport: stdio Launch: npx @mukundakatta/mustache-mcp (or npm install + node node_modules/@mukundakatta/mustache-mcp/dist/server.js) Tools: 1 — render

Tool: render — render a Mustache template

Schema: { template: string, view: object, partials?: Record<string, string> }

  • template: Mustache template string with {{var}}, {{#section}}, {{^inverted}}, {{>partial}}
  • view: JSON data object (the "view" — NOT "data")
  • partials: optional map of partial name → template string for {{>name}} includes

Features verified

  1. Variable interpolation: {{name}} → value from view
  2. Sections/loops: {{#items}}...{{/items}} iterates arrays
  3. Conditionals: {{#flag}}...{{/flag}} renders if truthy
  4. Inverted sections: {{^flag}}...{{/flag}} renders if falsy/empty
  5. Partials: {{>cardTemplate}} includes from partials map

Gotcha

The data parameter is view, NOT data. Using data fails with "Cannot read properties of undefined".

Verified traces

Basic interpolation:

Request:  render({ template: "Hello, {{name}}! You have {{count}} new messages.", view: { name: "Alice", count: 5 } })
Response: "Hello, Alice! You have 5 new messages."

Sections + loops + conditionals:

Request:  render({ template: "Shopping List:\n{{#items}}\n- {{name}} (x{{qty}}){{#onSale}} ★ ON SALE{{/onSale}}\n{{/items}}", view: { items: [{ name: "Apples", qty: 3, onSale: true }, { name: "Bread", qty: 1, onSale: false }, { name: "Milk", qty: 2, onSale: true }] } })
Response: "Shopping List:\n- Apples (x3) ★ ON SALE\n- Bread (x1)\n- Milk (x2) ★ ON SALE\n"

Partials:

Request:  render({ template: "{{#users}}\n{{> userCard}}\n{{/users}}", view: { users: [{ name: "Bob", role: "admin" }, { name: "Eve", role: "viewer" }] }, partials: { userCard: "  [{{name}}] ({{role}})\n" } })
Response: "  [Bob] (admin)\n  [Eve] (viewer)\n"

Inverted section (falsy):

Request:  render({ template: "{{#loggedIn}}Welcome back!{{/loggedIn}}{{^loggedIn}}Please log in.{{/loggedIn}}", view: { loggedIn: false } })
Response: "Please log in."

All 4 Mustache features work correctly. Sub-millisecond after JIT warmup.
