Project Introduction

ZIP MCP Server is a compression server based on fastMCP and zip.js, implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This project provides fully parameter-controlled ZIP compression, decompression, and query compression package information functions.

Features

• Supports compression and decompression of files and data
• Supports multi-file packaging compression
• Provides compression level control (0-9)
• Supports password protection and encryption strength settings
• Provides query function for compressed package metadata

Installation and Usage

1. Clone the project:

   git clone

cd zip-mcp

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Generate MCP JSON:

   npm run json

   {
   "mcpServers": {
   "zip-mcp": {
   "command": "npx",
   "args": [
   "tsx",
   "src/index.ts"
   ]
   }
   }

}

4. Configure the MCP JSON in the AI Client

• Claude Client https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user
• Raycast requires installing the MCP plugin

  • overwrite: Whether to overwrite existing files (boolean)

Returns:

• Success: Text content containing success information
• Failure: Text content containing error information

Decompression Tool (decompress)

Parameters:

• input: Path of the ZIP file
• output: Path of the output directory
• options: Decompression options (optional)
  • password: Decompression password
  • overwrite: Whether to overwrite existing files (boolean)
  • createDirectories: Whether to create non-existent directories (boolean)

Returns:

• Success: Text content containing decompression result information
• Failure: Text content containing error information

ZIP Info Tool (getZipInfo)

Get metadata information of local ZIP files.

Parameters:

• input: Path of the ZIP file
• options: Options (optional)
  • password: Decompression password

Returns:

• Success: Text content containing detailed information of the ZIP file, including:
  • Total number of files
  • Total size
  • Compressed size
  • Compression ratio
  • Detailed information of each file
• Failure: Text content containing error information

Test Tool (echo)

Returns the input message to test if the service is running normally.

Parameters:

• message: Message to be returned

Returns:

• Text content containing the input message and current timestamp

Examples

Examples of calling tools using the MCP client:

// Compress files
await client.executeTool("compress", {
  input: "/path/to/files/or/directory",
  output: "/path/to/output.zip",
  options: {
    level: 9,
    comment: "Test compression",
    password: "secret",
    overwrite: true,
  },
});

// Decompress files
await client.executeTool("decompress", {
  input: "/path/to/archive.zip",
  output: "/path/to/extract/directory",
  options: {
    password: "secret",
    overwrite: true,
    createDirectories: true,
  },
});

// Get ZIP info
await client.executeTool("getZipInfo", {
  input: "/path/to/archive.zip",
  options: {
    password: "secret",
  },
});

// Test service
await client.executeTool("echo", {
  message: "Hello, ZIP MCP Server!",
});
