Tools & capabilities
Chatpack MCP tools 5
search_docsSearch bundled Chatpack documentation and the authoritative llms reference. Returns document ids, links and matching excerpts with package versions.get_documentRead a complete bundled Chatpack document by id. Use llms for the authoritative integration contract or concepts/errors for troubleshooting.get_integration_guideRetrieve the repository's framework setup guide with authentication guidance and the authoritative llms reference. Examples match the bundled package versions.list_ui_blocksList public runtime exports of @chatpack/ui, including components, providers and utilities. Returns names accepted by get_ui_block.get_ui_blockRetrieve a public @chatpack/ui export's source module and usage guide. Optionally include supporting UI modules and stylesheet. Files are reference source, not a standalone copy-and-paste component.
GodPrompt MCP Server tools 7
get_god_promptReturns the complete GodPrompt.md — a single-file universal system prompt for AI software development (47KB, ~1145 lines). Use this when you want the full payload in one shot. For progressive disclosure (smaller context), use get_core_skill and the reference tools instead.get_core_skillReturns SKILL.md — the lean core protocol (~16KB) covering the universal 6-phase protocol, Three Iron Laws, and task auto-classification. Load it at the start of a task or after a context reset, then reuse that context instead of reloading it on every message. Start here for progressive disclosure.get_protocolsReturns references/01-PROTOCOLS.md — deep execution guides for each task type (BUILD, DEBUG, REFACTOR, CONTENT, DESIGN, SHIP, ANALYZE, AUTOMATE, PLAN). Load this when the task requires detailed protocol steps beyond the core skill. ~13KB.get_gatesReturns references/02-GATES.md — verification checklists, THE GATE (pre-completion verification), and structured report templates for every deliverable type. Load when you need to verify work before claiming completion. ~9KB.get_anti_patternsReturns references/03-ANTI-PATTERNS.md — red flags, rationalizations, and recovery patterns. Covers the 10 most dangerous anti-patterns that lead to broken code, scope creep, and false confidence. Load when you catch yourself rationalizing. ~9KB.classify_taskClassify one concrete software-development task into one of GodPrompt's 9 task types (BUILD, DEBUG, REFACTOR, CONTENT, DESIGN, SHIP, ANALYZE, AUTOMATE, PLAN), or UNCLASSIFIED when no reliable route is detected. Returns JSON with task_type, deterministic confidence, protocol, matched_signals, alternative_task_types, ambiguous, and recommendation; use it for routing before loading detailed workflow text.get_versionReturns JSON with the GodPrompt content version, MCP server version, repository, bundled file sizes and purposes, and task-type/protocol catalog. Use it to verify which GodPrompt content/server version a client is connected to; use the content retrieval tools when you need the actual workflow text.
