@imqueue/mcp

A Model Context Protocol server for @imqueue. It lets AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, JetBrains, …) search the @imqueue documentation, scaffold typed services & clients, and drive the imq CLI — so they generate correct, idiomatic @imqueue code instead of guessing.

📖 Full documentation: imqueue.org/mcp — per-client setup, complete tools reference, agent workflows and the safety model.

Tools

CLI-backed tools (require @imqueue/cli on PATH)

When the imq CLI is installed locally, these drive the real CLI:

Calls run with stdin closed and a timeout, so a missing-flag prompt fails fast instead of hanging. If imq isn't installed, run cli_install or use the offline scaffold_* tools.

Docs are fetched live from imqueue.org's machine-readable feeds (/llms.txt, per-page …/index.md mirrors), so the server never ships stale content. It only ever fetches imqueue.org.

Install

Requires Node.js ≥ 18. No build step for users — run straight from npm:

npx -y @imqueue/mcp

Claude Code

claude mcp add imqueue -- npx -y @imqueue/mcp

Other clients (Cursor, Claude Desktop, JetBrains, Windsurf, Zed, …)

Add to your MCP config (.cursor/mcp.json, claude_desktop_config.json, …):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imqueue": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@imqueue/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code and Visual Studio use a top-level servers key with "type": "stdio" instead of mcpServers. See imqueue.org/mcp/installation for the exact config file path and snippet for every client.

Develop

npm install
npm run build      # tsc -> dist/
npm run dev        # run from source with tsx
npm run smoke      # JSON-RPC handshake + tools/list + tool calls

Example

User: "Create an @imqueue user service with a getUser(id) method."

The agent calls scaffold_service({ name: "user", methods: [{ name: "getUser", params: [{ name: "id", type: "number" }], returns: "User" }] }) and gets a ready-to-paste UserService + bootstrap, then search_docs("run a service") / get_doc(...) to wire it up.
