Stackguide tools (16, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
agentActive agent workflow actions that execute real work: intake (ticket read), plan (TDD plan), verify (run tests/lint/build + checks), release (CI + release notes/tag/PR).
analyzeProject Intelligence: Comprehensive analysis of project structure, configuration, and dependencies. Provides smart recommendations, generates optimal configs, and suggests improvements based on framework best practices.
configManage saved configurations: save, load, list, delete, export, or import.
contextGet current context with all loaded rules and knowledge. Use this to see what StackGuide has configured.
cursorBrowse, search, and import rules from cursor.directory community.
custom_rulewrite actionCreate, update, delete, or list custom rules for your project.
docsFetch and manage web documentation. Fetch URLs, search cached docs, or list available.
generateGenerate boilerplate code from templates. Create components, hooks, services, tests, API routes, models, and utilities with best practices built in.
healthGet a comprehensive health score for your project. Analyzes configuration, code quality, structure, documentation, and testing readiness. Returns a grade (A-F) with detailed recommendations.
helpGet help about StackGuide tools and how to use them.
initInitialize a project with the StackGuide TDD workflow. Auto-detects your stack and scaffolds a .stackguide/ directory with only the relevant agents, skills and hooks.
knowledgeManage knowledge base: list, search, or get architecture patterns and solutions.
reviewAnalyze code for issues using pattern matching. Detects security vulnerabilities, performance problems, coding standard violations, and architecture issues. Returns a score (0-100) and detailed report with suggestions. Works on files, URLs, or entire projects.
rulesManage rules: list, search, get, or select rules for your project.
setupConfigure StackGuide for your project. Auto-detects project type or lets you specify one manually.
workflowTDD agentic workflow with lazy loading. Load agents, skills, hooks and commands on demand to save tokens. Five roles: Intake → Planner → Implementer → Verifier → Releaser.

How Stackguide compares
Against every graded MCP server, from our own scans and uptime checks. Updated after each scan run.
- Safety score

- higher than 60% of 48,255 servers
- Tools
- 16
- the typical server has 7
- Tools that change things
- 6%
- typical: 0%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break

Install Stackguide in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y @stackguide/mcp-server on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

StackGuide MCP Server
Dynamic context + active engineering workflow for AI coding assistants in Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients.
What It Does
@stackguide/mcp-server helps teams standardize implementation quality with:
- project-aware rule/context loading
- code review and health scoring
- auto-detected setup and stack scaffolding
- active agent workflow that executes real work (intake, plan, verify, release)
- adaptive TDD preferences per project (model + token profile)
- Jira ticket creation from strict MAIN DESCRIPTION templates
- tracker + VCS + test orchestration for delivery flow
This server is built for real team usage, not just prompt templates.
What's New In v4.x
- Added active agent tool (execution-first workflow).
- init now generates .stackguide/config.json automatically.
- Added tracker service support for GitHub, GitLab, and Jira.
- Added VCS service for branch checks, commit parsing, CI status, and PR/MR creation.
- Added test runner service for structured test/lint/build execution.
- Updated TDD prompts to use active tool calls instead of large passive markdown payloads.
- Hardened local persistence:
- .stackguide artifacts removed from version control
- repository guard blocks accidental tracking of local artifacts
- cache and health history include integrity validation and safer writes
Install By IDE
Cursor
- File (workspace): .cursor/mcp.json
- File (global): ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"stackguide": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@stackguide/mcp-server@latest"]
}
}
}JetBrains (IntelliJ, WebStorm, PhpStorm, etc.)
- Open Settings | Tools | AI Assistant | Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- Click Add and paste JSON config.
- Recommended: set it as Project-level unless you want global scope.

}
}VS Code
- Requirement: GitHub Copilot Chat with MCP enabled.
- File (workspace): .vscode/mcp.json
- VS Code MCP schema uses servers as root key.

}
}
}Visual Studio (Windows, 2022 17.14+ / 2026+)
- Enable GitHub Copilot Agent mode.
- Supported config locations include:
- %USERPROFILE%\\.mcp.json (global)
- \\.mcp.json (repo-scoped)
- \\.vs\\mcp.json (solution/user-scoped)
- Visual Studio MCP schema uses servers as root key.

}
}How To Use (Any IDE)
- Restart the IDE after adding the MCP configuration.
- Open AI chat in agent/tool mode.
- Call setup to detect project context.
- Call init action:"full" to scaffold .stackguide/ and defaults.
- Use agent actions (intake, create_ticket, plan, verify, release) for delivery flow.

Stackguide: common questions
- Is Stackguide MCP server safe?
- Mostly: it is graded B (80/100). Read the Stackguide safety report
- How do I install Stackguide?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
- Does Stackguide need an API key?
- Not as far as the registry entry and our scan can tell: no credentials are declared or required.
- Is Stackguide maintained?
- The last commit was 97 days ago (2026-07-30). The latest release is v4.1.3.
- How does Stackguide compare with other MCP servers?
- safety score 80/100 (higher than 60% of 48,255 servers); tools 16 (the typical server has 7); tools that change things 6% (typical: 0%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
