## Description
An AI terminal for teams that uses agentic workflows to plan, build, test, and ship production-ready code from natural-language prompts, while keeping users in control. Available for Mac, Windows, Linux, and VS Code.

## Documentation

## What mel mcp serve does

mel mcp serve brings mel's agentic coding workflow into an MCP-oriented interface for AI agents. The underlying product is an AI terminal for teams: users describe development work in natural language, and the workflow can cover planning, implementation, testing, and shipping.

The focus is broader than code generation alone. A request can represent a development task that needs to be planned, built, checked, and prepared for delivery. The workflow is intended for production-ready code, with users remaining in control rather than handing the entire process over without oversight.

## How it works

Work begins with a natural-language prompt. mel uses that request to drive an agentic workflow across the relevant development stages: planning the work, building the code, testing the result, and shipping it. This makes the server relevant to coding-agent environments where an AI assistant needs to participate in more than a single editing step.

The team orientation is also part of the product’s scope. It is aimed at shared software development workflows rather than an isolated code-generation utility. The available environments include Mac, Windows, Linux, and VS Code, allowing the same general workflow to fit different developer setups.

## Tools and capabilities

- Accepts natural-language coding requests.
- Supports agentic planning for development tasks.
- Assists with building and implementing code.
- Includes testing as part of the workflow.
- Supports shipping production-ready code.
- Keeps the user involved in the development process.

## Limitations and notes

mel mcp serve is positioned around software development workflows, so its documented scope is planning, building, testing, and shipping code. The product is intended for teams and is available across Mac, Windows, Linux, and VS Code. Users retain control over the agentic process, which is relevant when reviewing or directing work before it moves forward.

The available platform list covers desktop operating systems and VS Code. Choose the environment that matches where the team runs its coding workflow.
