Install

pip install claude-code-starter-kit-mcp

Setup in Claude Code

Add to your project's .claude/settings.json (or ~/.claude/settings.json for global use):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-code-starter-kit": {
      "command": "claude-code-starter-kit-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Setup in Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-code-starter-kit": {
      "command": "claude-code-starter-kit-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Available MCP Tools

All tools accept an optional arguments string (e.g. a file path or flags like --changed).

PyPI Auto-publish

Releases to PyPI are automated via GitHub Actions. Push a version tag to trigger a publish:

⚠️ Production deployment scripts

Best Practices

1. Review before commit - Always review generated code
2. Use branches - Let Claude work on feature branches
3. Incremental changes - Small, focused tasks work best
4. Test first - Run tests before accepting changes
5. Version control - Commit frequently, revert if needed
