@connexia/cli

Convert existing backends into AI-native MCP-compatible interfaces

What It Does

Connexia CLI analyzes your existing Express, Fastify, NestJS, Hono, or Koa backend and generates a complete Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This makes your backend accessible to AI clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code MCP, and ChatGPT.
