Question 1

What is LiteMCP?

Accepted Answer

LiteMCP was a TypeScript framework designed for elegantly building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It simplified the process of defining tools, resources, and prompts, providing a structured approach for interacting with language models.

Question 2

Why is LiteMCP deprecated?

Accepted Answer

LiteMCP is deprecated because the official Model Context Protocol TypeScript SDK now offers a high-level API similar to LiteMCP, rendering it redundant. While the core LiteMCP project is no longer maintained, the `mcp-cli` component remains available.

Question 3

What were the key features of LiteMCP?

Accepted Answer

LiteMCP offered features such as simple tool, resource, and prompt definitions, full TypeScript support, built-in logging and error handling, a CLI for testing and debugging, and built-in support for SSE transport.

Question 4

Can I still use parts of LiteMCP?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Although the main framework is deprecated, the CLI commands from LiteMCP are still available as a standalone package: https://github.com/wong2/mcp-cli. Consider using this for testing purposes.
