astro-mcp

MCP server to support Astro project development, inspired by antfu's nuxt-mcp.

[!IMPORTANT]

This package is experimental and unstable. Proceed with caution when using it.

astro-mcp aims to help models understand your Astro project better, by providing them with information that cannot be easily accessed just by looking at the project files, such as:

• Runtime information about the Astro server
• Up-to-date Astro docs content
• Information about the Astro integrations you are using

Installation

In your Astro project directory, run the following command:

npx astro add astro-mcp

Manual installation

First, install the astro-mcp package:

npm install astro-mcp

Then, add the astro-mcp integration to your Astro config:

import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";

import mcp from "astro-mcp";

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [mcp()],
});

Usage

After installing the integration, the MCP server will be available at http://localhost:4321/__mcp/sse. To connect, create an empty configuration file in the appropriate location for your editor or tool:

astro-mcp will automatically update the file when the Astro server starts.

Extending the MCP server

astro-mcp provides a hook called mcp:setup that other integrations can use to extend the MCP server. This is useful if you want to add custom tools to the MCP server.

export default function createExampleIntegration(): AstroIntegration {
  return {
    name: "example-integration",
    hooks: {
      "mcp:setup": async ({ mcp }) => {
        mcp.tool("add", { a: z.number(), b: z.number() }, async ({ a, b }) => ({
          content: [{ type: "text", text: String(a + b) }],
        }));
      },
    },
  };
}
