    "@context": "https://schema.org",
    "@type": "Product",
    "name": "Widget",
    "nmae": "typo"

{
  "typeName": "Person"
}

Batch Tools

get_multiple_types

Retrieve information about multiple types in a single call.

{
  "typeNames": ["Person", "Organization", "LocalBusiness"]
}

compare_types

Compare 2–5 schema.org types side by side with usage recommendations.

validate_jsonld_batch

Validate multiple JSON-LD objects in a single call.

    { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Organization", "name": "Acme" }
  ]
}

Example Workflows

E-commerce Product Page

1. search_schemas      → {"query": "product"}
2. compare_types       → {"typeNames": ["Product", "Offer", "AggregateOffer"]}
3. get_type_properties → {"typeName": "Product", "mode": "direct", "limit": 15}
4. generate_example    → {"typeName": "Product", "style": "comprehensive"}

Article vs BlogPosting Decision

1. compare_types → {"typeNames": ["Article", "BlogPosting"]}

   Response includes recommendation:
   "Use BlogPosting for blog content with clear publication dates and author.
    Use Article for general news or editorial content."

Bulk Markup Validation

1. validate_jsonld_batch → {"items": [...array of JSON-LD objects...]}

   Returns per-object validation with actionable suggestions

Typo Recovery

1. get_schema_type → {"typeName": "Perosn"}

   Error: "Type 'Perosn' not found. Did you mean: Person, Physician, Performer?"

How It Works

Caching Architecture

The server fetches the complete schema.org vocabulary and implements a multi-layer cache:

Layer Location Behavior
Memory Runtime Instant access after first load
Disk ~/.cache/schema-org-mcp/schema-org-data.json Persists across restarts
  • TTL: 24 hours (configurable)
  • Fallback: Uses stale cache if schema.org is unavailable

Fuzzy Matching Pipeline

  1. Check natural language aliases (blog → BlogPosting)
  2. Attempt case-insensitive and normalized matching
  3. Calculate similarity scores using Levenshtein distance
  4. Return top 3 suggestions if score > 0.4

Indexed Data

Category Count
Types (classes) ~800+
Properties ~1,400+
Enumeration types ~80+

Configuration

The client accepts optional configuration parameters:

const client = new SchemaOrgClient({
  cacheDir: '/custom/cache/path',    // Default: ~/.cache/schema-org-mcp
  ttlMs: 12 * 60 * 60 * 1000,        // Default: 24 hours
  offline: false,                     // Default: false
});

Development

# Watch mode for development
npm run dev

# Run the test suite
npm test

# Build for production (generates build fingerprint)
npm run build

# Run full QA checklist
npm run qa

# Verify deployment
npm run verify

Deployment

Build with Fingerprint

Every build embeds version metadata for traceability:

npm run build
# Output: Build info generated: v1.1.0 (abc1234)

Verify Deployment

Confirm the correct version is running:

npm run verify

# Or with explicit version:
npm run verify 1.1.0 abc1234

Verification checks:

  1. Version and git SHA match
  2. compare_types tool responds correctly
  3. Fuzzy matching returns suggestions
  4. FAQPage examples include mainEntity
  5. Cache status is available

Runtime Fingerprint

On startup, the server logs its identity:

═══════════════════════════════════════════
schema-org-mcp v1.1.0 (abc1234)
Built: 2025-04-04T15:00:00.000Z
Branch: main
Node: v22.20.0
Tools: 14 registered
  server_info, server_stats, get_schema_type, ...
═══════════════════════════════════════════

Use the server_info tool to check the running version programmatically.


Troubleshooting

Slow Cold Start

If the first request is slow, the cache may have expired:

ls -la ~/.cache/schema-org-mcp/

Fuzzy Suggestions Not Appearing

Ensure schema data is fully loaded. The initialize() method must complete before fuzzy matching works.

Force Cache Refresh

Delete the cache directory to fetch fresh data:

rm -rf ~/.cache/schema-org-mcp/
