Architecture DNA
Runs a deep architecture audit on your codebase so you catch design drift, boundary violations, and schema smells before you scale or refactor.
Overview
Architecture-DNA is a MCP server for the Ship phase that audits codebase architecture and system design schemas like a deep architect review.
What is this MCP server?
- Remote MCP server titled Architecture-DNA for system design and schema auditing
- SSE endpoint at architecture-dna-mcp.vercel.app (schema 2025-12-11)
- Positions as deep codebase architect pass, not shallow lint rules
- Optional premium settlement via payment-signature header
- Useful before major refactors, fundraise diligence, or post-MVP hardening
- Version 1.0.0
- 1 remote SSE endpoint
- Server manifest schema 2025-12-11
What problem does it solve?
Without a staff architect, indie codebases accumulate hidden coupling and unclear boundaries that explode cost on the next feature or hire.
Who is it for?
Solo founders with growing monorepos or service layers who want an agent-driven architecture review before fundraising, SOC questions, or a big refactor.
Skip if: Greenfield hello-world apps or teams that only need unit tests without system-level design feedback.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After registering the MCP remote, your agent can trigger structured architecture audits that highlight design risks and schema issues you can fix before ship or scale.
- Architecture and schema audit findings via MCP
- Prioritized design-risk notes for your ship checklist
- Agent-session artifacts you can fold into ADRs or refactor tickets

Journey fit
Formal architecture review belongs on the Ship shelf as pre-release quality gate, even though insights also help during build and operate. Review subphase captures structured audits of system design and schemas that solo builders often skip without an staff architect.
How it compares
MCP architecture audit integration, not a replacement for human principal review or passive APM monitoring.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Architecture DNA for?
Indie builders and tech leads who ship backend-heavy products and want MCP-accessible deep design audits without hiring a full-time architect.
When should I use Architecture DNA?
Run it before major releases, after rapid MVP growth, or when module boundaries feel unclear and documentation lags the code.
How do I add Architecture DNA to my agent?
Add https://architecture-dna-mcp.vercel.app/api/mcp as an SSE remote MCP server in Claude Code or Cursor; include payment-signature when premium settlement applies.
