## MCP tools (5)

### `search_catalog` (~84 tokens)

Search the StackMap catalog

Search 200+ curated open-source AI/agent repos by keywords. Matches name, summary, curator note and topics. Returns ranked matches with the human-written "when to use it (and when not)".

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): max results (default 8)
- `query` (string, required): keywords, e.g. "local voice transcription" or "agent memory"

### `get_repo` (~66 tokens)

Get one repo, fully mapped

Full StackMap entry for a repo: summary, the opinionated curator note (including when NOT to use it), and every typed, human-reviewed relationship with its written why.

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): repo slug, e.g. "langgraph" (try search_catalog if unsure)

### `get_alternatives` (~42 tokens)

Alternatives to a repo

Human-reviewed alternatives for a repo — same job, different tool — each with the written "when to pick which".

Input parameters:

- `slug` (string, required): repo slug

### `continue_stack` (~58 tokens)

Continue your stack

Given repos you already use, suggests what pairs well next — curated complements ranked by curator confidence, each with the written why.

Input parameters:

- `slugs` (array, required): repo slugs already in your stack, e.g. ["langgraph","chroma"]

### `build_stack` (~120 tokens)

Build a stack from a description

Describe what you are building; get a starter stack assembled from the curated map — seed repos matched to your description, expanded through human-reviewed "pairs well with" edges, every pick carrying the curator's written why. Deterministic composition over curated data (no LLM in this server) — treat it as a strong draft for your own judgment.

Input parameters:

- `description` (string, required): what you are building, e.g. "a local-first RAG pipeline over PDFs with an agent frontend"
- `size` (integer): target stack size (default 6)

## Common questions

### What is the StackMap MCP server?

StackMap is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Ship-With-AI/stackmap. Search 344 human-reviewed AI/agent repos and the 817 typed connections between them. This page covers its npm package (@ship-with-ai/stackmap-mcp).

### Is the StackMap MCP server safe to use?

StackMap scores 90 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 21 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 StackMap MCP server expose?

StackMap exposes 5 tools: search_catalog, get_repo, get_alternatives, continue_stack, build_stack. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 370 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the StackMap MCP server still maintained?

StackMap is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 21 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 StackMap MCP server under?

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