Summary

Adds @cyanmycelium/mcp-core to the Frameworks → For servers section.

What it is

Engine-neutral, transport-agnostic Model Context Protocol primitives for TypeScript, distributed as composable ESM subpath exports:

  • @cyanmycelium/mcp-core - core primitives: behaviors, adapters, grammars, and shared types
  • @cyanmycelium/mcp-core/server - server building blocks
  • @cyanmycelium/mcp-core/client - client building blocks
  • @cyanmycelium/mcp-core/llm - LLM bridge
  • @cyanmycelium/mcp-core/node - Node.js runtime adapter

The grammars layer is modular: multiple grammar implementations can be registered and selected per source/target pair (different LLM providers, message dialects, or prompt formats) and per locale, enabling internationalization of generated prompts and tool descriptions without forking the core.

The package leaves transport, runtime, and LLM provider choices to the consumer, making it a low-level alternative to opinionated frameworks already listed in this section.

Why it fits this section

It complements existing entries (FastMCP, ModelFetch, MCP-Framework, etc.) by targeting a different audience: developers who want to assemble their own MCP server or client from primitives rather than start from a high-level framework. Two features that aren't commonly exposed by other frameworks in this section:

  • Pluggable grammars per source/target, useful when bridging an MCP server to multiple LLM providers or prompt conventions from the same codebase.
  • Built-in i18n at the grammar level, so prompts and tool descriptions can be localized through the same selection mechanism.

The granular subpath exports also let consumers import only what they need (smaller install footprint when only /client or /llm is required).

Checklist

Added a new modular MCP toolkit entry to the README.
