xmcp by Basement Studio

xmcp is a framework from Basement Studio that makes it fast and easy to build servers for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI assistants—whether running inside your app or externally—to safely connect to real-world data and tools. By using a file-system approach where each “tool” is simply a code file placed in a directory, xmcp streamlines setup, supports instant hot-reloading, and allows developers to focus on creating useful features and workflows instead of complex infrastructure.

The framework provides simple mechanisms for defining what data or actions an AI can access, automating standardized connections to databases, business systems, user files, or external services. With ready-made support for authentication, middleware, and quick integration into apps (including Express.js or Next.js), xmcp makes it easy to add, update, and secure new functions or permissions as business needs change.

Once deployed, xmcp-powered MCP servers let AI assistants retrieve, process, and act on app data in controlled, permissioned ways—empowering smarter automation, personalization, and data-driven experiences, all while maintaining privacy and control.
