# engineering-matrix-explorer

An MCP server that gives Claude (or any MCP-compatible AI) instant access to a curated matrix of 100+ engineering tools — search by name, tag, or use case, browse by category, and pull ready-to-use boilerplate files for 30+ popular stacks.

**Free:** search + 5 boilerplates (TypeScript, Python, React, Docker, Node.js)  |  **[Pro $15](https://businesshub66.gumroad.com/l/engineering-matrix-explorer-pro):** all 33 boilerplates unlocked  |  **[Bundle $29](https://businesshub66.gumroad.com/l/jdsnuv):** 3 MCP servers

## What it does

Three tools, zero configuration:

**`search_engineering_matrix`** — find tools by name, tag, or use case. Multi-word queries work great.
```
"python linter"   → Ruff, ESLint
"ci cd"           → GitHub Actions
"database sql"    → PostgreSQL, Prisma, Supabase
"container"       → Docker, Kubernetes
```

**`list_categories`** — browse all 6 categories with tool counts: `languages`, `frontend`, `backend`, `databases`, `devops`, `tooling`.

**`get_repository_boilerplate`** — get starter files for a tool in one shot. Supports: TypeScript, Python, Node.js, React, Next.js, FastAPI, Docker, GitHub Actions, Rust, Go.

## Install

```bash
npx @engineeringmatrixexplorer/engineering-matrix-explorer
```

Or install globally:
```bash
npm install -g @engineeringmatrixexplorer/engineering-matrix-explorer
```

## Add to Claude Desktop

Open your Claude Desktop config (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS) and add:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "engineering-matrix-explorer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@engineeringmatrixexplorer/engineering-matrix-explorer"]
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Claude Desktop. You'll see the tools appear automatically.

## Add to Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add engineering-matrix-explorer -- npx -y @engineeringmatrixexplorer/engineering-matrix-explorer
```

## Example prompts

Once connected, try asking Claude:

- *"What TypeScript linting tools are available?"*
- *"Give me a Docker boilerplate for my new project"*
- *"What's in the devops category?"*
- *"Find me a fast Python web framework"*
- *"Set up a GitHub Actions CI config for my repo"*

## Tool matrix

| Category | Tools |
|----------|-------|
| Languages | TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go |
| Frontend | React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Tailwind CSS, Vite |
| Backend | Node.js, Fastify, Express, FastAPI |
| Databases | PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, Prisma, Supabase |
| DevOps | Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Vercel |
| Tooling | ESLint, Prettier, Ruff, Vitest, Jest, pnpm |

## Hire me

I build custom MCP servers for companies and dev teams — internal tool search, docs integrations, API connectors, anything you want Claude to do that it can't do out of the box.
