swift-context-protocol · Summary

Swift-based MCP server implementing distributed actors for type-safe tools, resources, and prompts in AI contexts.

filesystem · Summary

A feature-rich MCP server for filesystem operations with dynamic directory access control.

swift-context-protocol · Use cases

  • Creating distributed AI tooling in Swift ecosystems
  • Building type-safe MCP servers for AI applications
  • Implementing resource management systems with Swift actors

filesystem · Use cases

  • Enable AI models to read and write project files during development
  • Allow Claude or other MCP clients to browse and analyze codebases
  • Provide secure sandboxed access to specific directories for content generation

swift-context-protocol · Install

To install swift-context-protocol, add it to your Package.swift dependencies:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/1amageek/swift-context-protocol.git", from: "1.0.0")
]

Then add it to your target dependencies:

targets: [
    .executableTarget(
        name: "YourApp",
        dependencies: [
            "swift-context-protocol"
        ]
    )
]

For Claude Desktop integration, you would typically add the server to your configuration.json, though this Swift server might require additional Swift environment setup.
