Zip Hive Scaffold

MCP server for bulk-creating files and folders for any project. Works with Claude Desktop, opencode, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible AI client.

Quick Start

curl -fsSL https://ziphive.js.org/mcp/install.sh | bash

Then tell your AI:

Add the MCP server at ~/.ziphive-scaffold/dist/index.js

That's it. The AI will configure itself.

What it does

Give your AI assistant the ability to create files and folders on your local machine. Say things like:

"Create a React project called dashboard in ~/projects"
"Scaffold a Python FastAPI app called backend in /home/user/dev"
"Add a components/ui folder and Button.tsx to my existing app"
"Set up a Turborepo monorepo called platform in ~/code"

Manual Setup

If you prefer not to use the install script:

git clone https://github.com/Dqrshan/ziphive-scaffold.git
cd ziphive-scaffold
npm install
npm run build

Then tell your AI to add the MCP server pointing to dist/index.js.

Adding Custom Templates

Edit src/templates/index.ts and add a new ProjectStructure object:

templates["my-template"] = {
  name: "my-template",
  description: "My custom template",
  folders: ["src", "tests"],
  files: [
    { path: "package.json", content: "{ ... }" },
    { path: "src/index.ts", content: "..." },
  ],
};

Then rebuild: npm run build
