This repository has moved — do not build from it

Development of @ikenga/mcp-iyke continues in the ikenga-pkgs monorepo:

→ Royalti-io/ikenga-pkgs/packages/mcp/iyke

This repo was last updated on 15 May 2026 and is now archived and read-only.

Why this matters if you cloned it. The state left here is neither the last release nor the current one: its package.json declares 0.1.2, but its source carries a partially-migrated tool set from the period before the code moved back into the monorepo. Building from this tree gives you something that was never published. Anything you install from npm is unaffected.

@ikenga/mcp-iyke

npm License

A Model Context Protocol server that exposes the Ikenga desktop app's iyke control bridge — so any MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, custom agents) can drive a running Ikenga session the same way a developer types into the iyke CLI at a shell.

What this is

Ikenga is a Tauri-based AI workspace shell with a manifest-driven package kernel. While the app is running, it exposes a localhost HTTP server (with a bearer token in control.json) that lets external tools introspect and drive the live UI: switch panes, navigate routes, take DOM snapshots, click elements, read logs, capture screenshots.

This package wraps that HTTP server in MCP so an LLM agent can use it natively. Tools mirror the iyke CLI subcommands.

Install

Via Claude Code (recommended)

npm install -g @ikenga/mcp-iyke
claude mcp add iyke -s user -- iyke-mcp

After that, any Claude Code session can call iyke_state, iyke_go, iyke_mode, iyke_open, iyke_split, iyke_focus, iyke_close, plus the runtime-inspection tools (iyke_dom, iyke_logs, iyke_network, iyke_screenshot, iyke_wait, iyke_click, iyke_type, iyke_key, iyke_query_cache, iyke_devtools), iframe tools (iyke_iframe_state, iyke_iframe_send) and project tools (iyke_project_create, iyke_project_update, iyke_project_list, iyke_project_archive, iyke_project_set_active, iyke_project_get_active).

Via npx (no install)

claude mcp add iyke -s user -- npx -y @ikenga/mcp-iyke

From source (for contributors)

git clone https://github.com/Royalti-io/ikenga-pkg-mcp-iyke.git
cd ikenga-pkg-mcp-iyke
npm install
npm run build

Then point your MCP client at node /path/to/ikenga-pkg-mcp-iyke/dist/index.js.

Tools

Layout & navigation

Tool

Purpose

Projects

Tool

Purpose

iyke_project_create

Create a project (slug + display name; optional root_path, icon, color, description).

iyke_project_update

Patch fields on an existing project (display_name, root_path, icon, color, description, position).

iyke_project_list

List projects in switcher order; pass include_archived=true to surface archived ones.

iyke_project_archive

Soft-delete a project; refuses to archive the built-in Default project.

iyke_project_set_active

Switch the shell's active project; refetches project-scoped queries.

iyke_project_get_active

Return the currently active project.

Trust boundary

The MCP server reads control.json from the platform-specific app-local-data directory (~/Library/Application Support/app.ikenga/control.json on macOS, $XDG_DATA_HOME/app.ikenga/control.json on Linux, %APPDATA%/app.ikenga/control.json on Windows). The control file contains:

  • port — localhost port the in-app HTTP server is listening on

  • token — bearer token required on every request

  • pid — owning process PID (used to detect stale files)

A stale control.json left behind by kill -9 is auto-deleted once it's at least 5 minutes old; younger stale files are reported (likely a launch race) so we don't clobber a starting app.

If the Ikenga desktop app isn't running, every tool call fails with a structured error rather than hanging — your agent reads the failure and reports it instead of silently waiting.

The MCP server only ever talks to 127.0.0.1 on the port from control.json, with the bearer token from the same file. No outbound network, no telemetry.

Compatibility

  • Ikenga shell: any version exposing the v1 control.json schema.

  • Node.js: ≥ 20.

  • Bun: runs without compilation (bun src/index.ts).

  • MCP SDK: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk ^1.23.0.

Versioning

This package follows SemVer 2.0.0. Major-version bumps may break MCP tool names or argument shapes; minor bumps add new tools or non-breaking improvements; patches fix bugs.

The iyke HTTP protocol version (the in-app server's API surface) is independent — it's pinned via schema_version: 1 in control.json. This package currently supports protocol v1 only.
