JSON file MCP server

This is a small helper program that takes one JSON file you already have, like a product catalogue, a price list, or a set of FAQs, and lets your AI read it. You point it at the file once, and after that you can just ask questions in plain words. It is handy if your data lives in a file and you would rather not copy and paste it into the chat every time.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question about your data, like which items are in stock. The AI passes your question to this helper program. The helper opens your JSON file and looks through the records inside it. It picks out the matching ones, or the single record you asked for, and hands them back. Your AI then turns that into a normal answer in the chat.

What you can do with it

• List records from your file, a page at a time
• Search your records by keyword across the fields you choose
• Look up one record by its id, like a product code
• Ask follow-up questions about what it found
• Keep your data read-only, so nothing in the file gets changed

Try asking your AI

• “Which teas are under 400 rupees and in stock?”
• “Show me product MUG-001.”
• “Search my FAQ for anything about refunds.”
• “List the first 10 items in my catalogue.”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat, written in normal sentences by your AI. Behind the scenes it receives lists of records, single records, or search matches from your file. It can also tell you how many matched, or show the fields of one item. Nothing in your file is changed, because the tools only read.
