Forge Craft MCP Server

The quality contract your AI coding assistant works within. ForgeCraft is the quality contract your AI coding assistant works within - so it builds fast and doesn't burn down the house. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with aider, code quality and developer tools and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.

Claude Code

claude mcp add jghiringhelli-forgecraft-mcp -- npx -y forgecraft-mcp

  "mcpServers": {
    "jghiringhelli-forgecraft-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "forgecraft-mcp"
