Crochet Engine MCP Server

The deterministic photo-to-crochet-chart engine behind crochetpatterngen.com - packaged as a Python library, CLI, and MCP server so AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) can turn photos into crochet charts with exact stitch counts. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting media tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "crochetpatterngen-engine"
      ]
    }
  }
