MCP tools · 6 exposed · ~821 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
compose_fullstack ~257

Compose two projects — a static frontend and an HTTP service backend, from ANY generators — into one fullstack repo (apps/web + apps/server) with a fullstack deployment contract and a docker-compose. Language-neutral: e.g. a "javascript" react-app frontend + a "python" py-service (or "go" go-service) backend. By default PREVIEWS; pass write: true to scaffold under <directory>/<name>.

NameTypeReqDescription
backendobjectyesThe service backend to generate: { generator, name, preset?, config? }
backendDirstring–Subdir for the backend (default apps/server)
directorystring–Parent directory to create <name>/ in when writing
dockerComposeboolean–Emit a root docker-compose.yml (default true)
forceboolean–Overwrite colliding existing files when writing
frontendobjectyesThe static frontend to generate: { generator, name, preset?, config? }
frontendDirstring–Subdir for the frontend (default apps/web)
namestringyesRepo name (folder when writing; README heading)
writeboolean–Write files to disk (default false = preview only)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

generate_project ~190

Generate a project with a generator. By default it PREVIEWS (returns the file tree, stack summary and deployment contract without touching disk); pass write: true to scaffold the files under <directory>/<name>. Existing files are never overwritten unless force is set. Call list_presets / get_generator_schema first.

NameTypeReqDescription
configobject–Options from get_generator_schema (overrides the preset)
directorystring–Parent directory to create <name>/ in when writing (default: cwd)
forceboolean–Overwrite colliding existing files when writing (default false)
generatorstringyesGenerator id from list_generators
namestringyesProject/package name (also the folder name when writing)
presetstring–A preset (or alias) from list_presets
writeboolean–Write files to disk (default false = preview only)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_generator_schema ~63

Return a generator's full option schema — every option, its choices and defaults — as JSON. Read this before passing a `config` to generate_project so the options you set are valid for that generator.

NameTypeReqDescription
generatorstringyesGenerator id from list_generators

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_generators ~63

START HERE. Lists every Packkit generator (a language target — e.g. javascript, python, go) with its maturity and protocol capabilities. Pick the generator whose language matches what the user wants, then call list_presets and get_generator_schema for it before generating.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_presets ~108

List the presets a generator offers (e.g. ts-lib, react-lib, node-service for javascript; py-lib, py-cli for python), each with a description and maturity. Experimental presets are hidden unless includeExperimental is true. Choose a preset that matches the shape the user wants instead of guessing.

NameTypeReqDescription
generatorstringyesGenerator id from list_generators (e.g. "javascript", "python", "go")
includeExperimentalboolean–Include experimental presets (default false)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

plan_upgrade ~140

Plan a re-scaffold of an existing project against the current templates: a three-way diff (baseline vs on-disk vs freshly generated) that separates template changes from the user's own edits, so nothing is clobbered. Reports the plan only — it writes nothing. Requires a generator that supports baseline-upgrade.

NameTypeReqDescription
configobject–The options it was generated with
directorystringyesPath to the existing scaffolded project
generatorstringyesGenerator id from list_generators
namestringyesProject name (as originally generated)
presetstring–The preset it was generated from (if any)

No output schema declared.

Common questions

What is the Packkit MCP server?

Packkit is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.PackkitLabs/packkit-mcp. Scaffold, compose, and upgrade modern multi-language projects as a native tool for AI agents. This page covers its npm package (packkit-mcp).

Is the Packkit MCP server safe to use?

Packkit scores 93 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the Packkit MCP server expose?

Packkit exposes 6 tools: list_generators, list_presets, get_generator_schema, generate_project, plan_upgrade, compose_fullstack. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 821 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the Packkit MCP server still maintained?

Packkit is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the Packkit MCP server under?

Packkit declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
