Model Context Protocol and Fireproof Demo: JSON Document Server
This is a simple example of how to use a Fireproof database in a Model Context Protocol server (used for plugging code and data into A.I. systems such as Claude Desktop).
This demo server implements a basic JSON document store with CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) and the ability to query documents sorted by any field.
Installation
Install dependencies:
npm install
npm build
Running the Server
To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:
On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonOn Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"fireproof": {
"command": "/path/to/fireproof-mcp/build/index.js"
}
}
}
Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:
npm run inspector
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
