    "command": "npx",
    "args": [
      "@gongrzhe/server-json-mcp@1.0.3"
    ]
  }
}

Alternatively, you can use the node command directly if you have the package installed:

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Install dependencies:
    npm install
    
  3. Build the project:
    npm run build
    

Notes

  1. All JSONPath expressions start with $ representing the root object
  2. Array indices are zero-based
  3. String values in operations should be wrapped in quotes
  4. Date operations support 'days', 'months', and 'years' units
  5. Numeric operations support basic arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /)
