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}

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."

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
- Check natural language aliases (
blog→BlogPosting) - Attempt case-insensitive and normalized matching
- Calculate similarity scores using Levenshtein distance
- 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:
- Version and git SHA match
compare_typestool responds correctly- Fuzzy matching returns suggestions
- FAQPage examples include
mainEntity - 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/
