MCP Server Make

# MCP Server Make Documentation Welcome to the MCP Server Make documentation. This tool enables LLMs to execute make targets from any Makefile in a safe, controlled way, creating powerful development workflows. ## Documentation Index - [User Guide](user_guide.md) - Complete guide to installation, configuration, and usage - [Custom Makefiles](custom_makefiles.md) - Creating effective Makefiles for use with MCP Server Make ## What is MCP Server Make? MCP Server Make is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides controlled access to `make` functionality. This allows Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude to execute make targets safely, understand build processes, and assist with development tasks. The key benefit is that it creates a secure bridge between LLMs and the development environment, enabling models to: - Run build, test, and validation commands - Generate and validate code changes - Understand your project's structure and requirements - Help automate repetitive development tasks ## Key Features - **Works with Any Makefile**: Use the included opinionated Makefile or any custom Makefile - **Safe Execution**: Controlled access to make functionality - **Flexible Configuration**: Specify custom Makefiles and working directories - **Error Handling**: Graceful handling of common errors - **Clear Output**: Structured output for LLM understanding ## Getting Started See the [User Guide](user_guide.md) for complete installation and usage instructions. Quick installation: ```bash # Using uv (recommended) uv pip install mcp-server-make # Using pip pip install mcp-server-make ``` Basic usage: ```bash # With default Makefile in current directory uvx mcp-server-make # With custom Makefile and working directory uvx mcp-server-make --make-path /path/to/Makefile --working-dir /path/to/working/dir ``` ## Resources - [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/wrale/mcp-server-make) - [PyPI Package](https://pypi.org/project/mcp-server-make/) - [Contributing Guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md)
