A NestJS module to effortlessly expose tools, resources, and prompts for AI, from your NestJS applications using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
With @rekog/mcp-nest you define tools, resources, and prompts in a way that's familiar in NestJS and leverage the full power of dependency injection to utilize your existing codebase in building complex enterprise ready MCP servers.
- π Multi-Transport Support: HTTP+SSE, Streamable HTTP, and STDIO
- π§ Tools: Expose NestJS methods as MCP tools with automatic discovery and Zod validation
- π οΈ Elicitation: Interactive tool calls with user input elicitation
- π HTTP Request Access: Full access to request context within MCP handlers
- π Per-Tool Authorization: Implement fine-grained authorization for tools
- π Resources: Serve content and data through MCP resource system
- π Resource Templates: Dynamic resources with parameterized URIs
- π¬ Prompts: Define reusable prompt templates for AI interactions
- π Guard-based Authentication: Guard-based security with OAuth support
- π Built-in Authorization Server β Using the built-in Authorization Server for easy setups. (Beta)
- π External Authorization Server β Securing your MCP server with an external authorization server (Keycloak, Auth0, etc).
- π Dependency Injection: Leverage NestJS DI system throughout MCP components
- π Server mutation and instrumentation β Mutate the underlying mcp server for custom logic or instrumentation purposes.

npm install @rekog/mcp-nest @modelcontextprotocol/sdk zod@^4If you use the built-in authorization server with the TypeORM store, install the following optional peer dependencies:
npm install @nestjs/typeorm typeorm// app.module.ts
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { McpModule } from '@rekog/mcp-nest';
import { GreetingTool } from './greeting.tool';
@Module({
imports: [
McpModule.forRoot({
name: 'my-mcp-server',
version: '1.0.0',
}),
],
providers: [GreetingTool],
})
export class AppModule {}// greeting.tool.ts
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { Tool, Context } from '@rekog/mcp-nest';
import { z } from 'zod';
@Injectable()
export class GreetingTool {
@Tool({
name: 'greeting-tool',
description: 'Returns a greeting with progress updates',
parameters: z.object({
name: z.string().default('World'),
}),
})
async sayHello({ name }, context: Context) {
await context.reportProgress({ progress: 50, total: 100 });
return `Hello, ${name}!`;
