MCP server for microservices.sh: inspect verified Cloudflare-native modules/templates, generate app plans/projects, run checks, and trigger confirmation-gated preview deploys. Install via npx -y @microservices-sh/mcp.
Local-first document management and semantic search for AI coding agents
List available microservices.sh app templates, including template ids and summaries. Use this before inspect_template, compose_app, generate_project, or run_checks when choosing a foundation for a new Cloudflare app.
inspect_template
Inspect one app template contract, including supported modules, default configuration, runtime metadata, and generation behavior. Use this before composing or generating a project from a specific template id.
list_modules
List available verified microservices.sh modules with ids, categories, summaries, versions, and maturity status. Use this to discover production building blocks before inspect_module, compose_app, or plan_add_module.
inspect_module
Inspect one module contract in detail, including permissions, hooks, events, resources, storage needs, and customization points. Use this before editing or adding a module so the agent understands the module boundaries.
list_module_docs
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Microservices Sh MCP is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, Andrea9293 MCP belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select Microservices Sh MCP when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Andrea9293 MCP when you require tools for developer tools.
List LLM-readable documentation pages available for module implementation guidance. Use this to discover local docs before get_module_doc or before changing generated source.
get_module_doc
Return an LLM-readable documentation page for a module, including rules, implementation notes, and agent guidance. Use this before coding against a module contract.
compose_app
Compose a template and selected modules into a checked app contract and lockfile plan without writing files. Use this to preview the exact app composition before generate_project or deployment planning.
validate_config
Validate a template, module list, and configuration object before generation or deployment. Use this to catch unsupported modules, missing settings, and invalid config before side effects.
generate_project
Generate project source files in memory for agent inspection. This tool does not write files; use it to review planned source, docs, migrations, and config before creating or editing a local project.
run_checks
Run local contract and readiness checks for a template/module composition. Use this before deployment planning to verify module compatibility, generated artifacts, and operational guardrails.
plan_add_module
Plan an approval-gated module addition against an optional existing microservices.lock.json. This tool reports intended lockfile changes and required review gates without writing files.
check_updates
Check locked module versions against the bundled registry snapshot. Use this to identify available module updates before plan_module_upgrade.

add_document
Add a new document to the knowledge base
delete_document
Delete a document from the collection
search_documents
Search for chunks within a specific document using semantic similarity. Always tell the user if result is truncated because of length. for example if you recive a message like this in the response: 'Tool response was too long and was truncated'
get_document
Use this tool only when user explicitly requests it. Retrieve a specific document by ID. Always tell the user if result is truncated because of length. for example if you recive a message like this in the response: 'Tool response was too long and was truncated'
list_documents
List all documents in the knowledge base
search_all_documents
Search for relevant chunks across ALL documents in the knowledge base using semantic similarity (hybrid: full-text + vector). Useful for cross-document search when you don't know which document contains the answer.
get_context_window
Returns a window of parent content sections around a central parent_index. Use parent_index values from search results. Always tell the user if result is truncated because of length.
