git clone https://github.com/iolufemi/Express-REST-API-and-MCP-Server-FrameworkExpress REST API and MCP Server Framework is a comprehensive development framework for building RESTful APIs with Express.js. It provides a complete template for creating production-ready APIs using Node.js, Express, Mongoose (MongoDB), and Sequelize (SQL databases). Every generated service exposes both REST endpoints and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so LLMs can interact with your API directly.

In computer programming, an application programming interface (API) is a set of clearly defined methods of communication between various software components. A good API makes it easier to develop a computer program by providing all the building blocks, which are then put together by the programmer. An API may be for a web-based system, operating system, database system, computer hardware or software library. Just as a graphical user interface makes it easier for people to use programs, application programming interfaces make it easier for developers to use certain technologies in building applications. - Wikipedia
Representational state transfer (REST) or RESTful web services is a way of providing interoperability between computer systems on the Internet. REST-compliant Web services allow requesting systems to access and manipulate textual representations of Web resources using a uniform and predefined set of stateless operations. -

NOTE: The use of this project requires that you have a basic knowledge of using Express in building a REST API.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that lets AI assistants (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) interact with your application through a standard interface. Instead of the LLM calling your REST API with raw HTTP, it uses MCP to discover and use tools (actions like create, update, delete) and resources (read-only data like list and get-by-id). - Wikipedia
This framework ships with a built-in MCP server. When you generate a service with npm run generate -- --name users, the same data is exposed as:
GET/POST/PUT/DELETE /users for apps and integrationscreate_users, update_users, list_users for LLMsusers://list, users://{id} for LL...
