packkit-mcp
The Packkit Model Context Protocol server —let AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, …) scaffold and upgrade modernprojects as a native tool. It fronts every Packkit generator through the@packkit/core protocol, so the sametools work across languages:
- JavaScript / TypeScript —
create-packkit(libraries, CLIs, services, SPAs, monorepos) - Python —
create-packkit-py(library, CLI, worker, HTTP service) - Go —
create-packkit-go(library, CLI, worker, HTTP service)
It also exposes a compose_fullstack tool that stitches a static frontend + a servicebackend from any generators into one fullstack repo (e.g. React + FastAPI).
Adding a language later is one registry.register(...) line here — the tools don't change.
Install
Point your MCP client at the published package (no install needed — npx fetches it):
{
"mcpServers": {
"packkit": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "packkit-mcp"]
}
}
}
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
list_generators |
List every generator (language target) with maturity + capabilities. Start here. |
list_presets |
List a generator's presets (experimental hidden unless asked). |
get_generator_schema |
A generator's full option schema (options, choices, defaults). |
generate_project |
Preview a project (file tree + stack + deployment contract), or write: true to scaffold to disk. |
plan_upgrade |
Baseline-aware three-way upgrade plan for an existing project — template changes vs your edits, writes nothing. |
The typical flow: list_generators → list_presets / get_generator_schema →generate_project. All generation is protocol-driven; the server holds nolanguage-specific logic.
Develop
npm install
npm run smoke # boot the server over MCP stdio and exercise all three generators
npm run check # server.json sync check + smoke (what CI runs)
Releases are automated with Changesets —see RELEASING.md.
