🤖 Claude Code Starter Kit

A production-ready boilerplate for integrating Claude Code into your development workflow. Automate testing, security scanning, code review, and routine maintenance tasks.

📦 MCP Server

All commands and agents in this kit are also available as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, making them usable from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible client.

Install

pip install claude-code-starter-kit-mcp

Setup in Claude Code

Add to your project's .claude/settings.json (or ~/.claude/settings.json for global use):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-code-starter-kit": {
      "command": "claude-code-starter-kit-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Setup in Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-code-starter-kit": {
      "command": "claude-code-starter-kit-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Available MCP Tools

All tools accept an optional arguments string (e.g. a file path or flags like --changed).

PyPI Auto-publish

Releases to PyPI are automated via GitHub Actions. Push a version tag to trigger a publish:

git tag v0.2.0
git push origin v0.2.0

Requires a PyPI Trusted Publisher configured for the pypi environment in your repository settings.

✅ Analyze code for vulnerabilities
✅ Suggest fixes with explanations
✅ Create documentation
✅ Refactor with your approval

What Requires Your Review

⚠️ Any changes to authentication/authorization
⚠️ Database migrations
⚠️ Environment/config changes
⚠️ Dependency updates
⚠️ Production deployment scripts

Best Practices

1. Review before commit - Always review generated code

2. Use branches - Let Claude work on feature branches

3. Incremental changes - Small, focused tasks work best

4. Test first - Run tests before accepting changes

5. Version control - Commit frequently, revert if needed
