TMCP: Reimagining Model Context Protocol Server Architecture with Modern TypeScript

The official Model Context Protocol (MCP) SDK presents significant architectural challenges for developers integrating with modern web frameworks due to its tight coupling with the legacy Express request/response pattern and hard dependencies like Zod v3. This article explores TMCP (TypeScript MCP), a new, community-driven library by Paolo Ricciuti, designed to solve these issues. TMCP delivers a modular, type-safe, and transport-agnostic solution by abstracting the core protocol logic over a minimal JSON-RPC 2.0 server.
