Stackguide Mcp
Load the right repo context dynamically while steering agents through TDD steps backed by AST-aware analysis.
Overview
StackGuide MCP is a MCP server for the Build phase that loads dynamic repo context and pairs it with TDD workflow and AST analysis for coding agents.
What is this MCP server?
- Dynamic context loading so agents receive task-relevant slices instead of whole-repo noise
- TDD workflow guidance aligned with how solo builders want red-green-refactor discipline
- AST analysis to anchor symbols, structure, and dependencies in loaded context
- @stackguide/mcp-server on npm with stdio transport (v4.1.3)
- Open-source StackGuide-MCP repository for extending workflow and analysis hooks
- npm package @stackguide/mcp-server version 4.1.3
- Stdio transport; source at github.com/isucorp-taimiralain/StackGuide-MCP
What problem does it solve?
Agents waste tokens on irrelevant files and skip test-first discipline because context is static and structure-blind.
Who is it for?
Solo developers on medium or large repos who want agent sessions grounded in tests and syntax-aware context.
Skip if: Tiny one-file scripts where full-repo context is already cheap or teams that do not want TDD-style agent nudges.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you add StackGuide MCP, assistants can load scoped, AST-informed context and follow a clearer TDD path through changes.
- Scoped code context packages tailored to the active agent task
- TDD-oriented workflow structure for implementation sessions
- AST-backed insight into symbols and dependencies in loaded files
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
StackGuide sits in build agent-tooling because it shapes how assistants read code and follow test-driven workflows during implementation. agent-tooling is where MCP servers tune context windows, workflows, and code intelligence for Claude Code and peers.
How it compares
Context-plus-TDD MCP with AST analysis, not a lone linter skill or generic codebase search plugin.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is StackGuide MCP for?
StackGuide MCP is for indie builders using AI coding agents who need smarter context loading and TDD-oriented workflows on real codebases.
When should I use StackGuide MCP?
Use it during build and ship testing when agents should focus on related modules, respect structure from AST analysis, and move through test-driven steps instead of blind edits.
How do I add StackGuide MCP to my agent?
Install @stackguide/mcp-server from npm, configure it as a stdio MCP server in Claude Code or your editor agent, and point it at the repository you want dynamic context and TDD guidance for.
