archmcp · Summary

archmcp is an MCP server that generates compact architectural snapshots of repositories to provide AI agents with structured codebase overviews.

everything · Summary

Official MCP test server exercising all protocol features for client builders.

archmcp · Use cases

Giving AI coding agents a structural overview of codebases before they start exploring
Enabling cross-repository understanding by combining snapshots from multiple projects
Identifying architectural issues like cyclic dependencies and layer violations

everything · Use cases

Testing MCP client implementations against all protocol features
Learning MCP protocol capabilities through a reference server
Validating client compatibility with different transport methods

archmcp · Install

Prerequisites

Go 1.22+
C compiler (for tree-sitter CGo bindings)

Build

go build -o archmcp ./cmd/archmcp

Or install globally:

go install ./cmd/archmcp

Connect to your MCP client

Add to your MCP client configuration. For example, in Cursor's mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "archmcp": {
      "command": "/path/to/archmcp",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-arch.yaml"]
    }
  }
}

Or if installed via go install:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "archmcp": {
      "command": "archmcp"
    }
  }
}

everything · Install

NPX (recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "everything": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"]
    }
  }
}

On Windows, use cmd /c:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "everything": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"]
    }
  }
}

Docker

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "everything": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "mcp/everything"]
    }
  }
}

Global install

npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-everything@latest
npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-everything
