## Findings

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `json_to_types` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "json_to_types" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "json_to_types" says "type": a word for a change.
```


## Changes things (1)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `json_to_types`

- The name "json_to_types" says "type": a word for a change.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Convert a JSON sample into TypeScript interfaces and a matching Zod schema, and report where a single sample cannot establish the real type.

Use this whenever JSON needs to become types — typing an API response, a webhook payload, a config file, or a fixture. Prefer it over writing the types directly, because three mistakes are easy to make and invisible once made:

1. ARRAYS. Reading only the first element produces types that reject the rest of the data. This merges every element into a union.
2. NULL VS ABSENT. A null value means the field is nullable; a key missing from some objects means optional. Different types, routinely conflated.
3. EMPTY CONTAINERS. Nothing can be inferred from [] or {}. This emits unknown and says so instead of inventing a plausible shape.

It is also far cheaper in output tokens than generating types inline for a large payload, and the result is deterministic.

Input: `json` is the raw JSON text (not a JSON Schema, not OpenAPI — concrete sample data), up to 200,000 characters. `rootName` optionally names the top-level interface and defaults to "Root".

Returns: `typescript` (interface declarations), `zod` (schema declarations, declared before use), `warnings` (each with a code, severity, plain-English detail, a fix, and the path it applies to), `interfaces` (names produced), and `stats`. Read the warnings before trusting the output — they are the part a model generating types inline cannot give you.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `json-to-types`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__json-to-types__json_to_types"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
