io.github.morinokami/astro-mcp
MCP server providing runtime info, docs, and integration details for Astro projects
What is the io.github.morinokami/astro-mcp MCP server?
The astro-mcp MCP server helps AI models understand and develop Astro projects by exposing runtime information, up-to-date documentation, and integration metadata. It integrates directly into your Astro project and provides tools to query project configuration, routes, server details, and Astro ecosystem information.
astro-mcp bridges the gap between AI models and Astro project context by providing access to runtime data that isn't easily discoverable from files alone. It exposes Astro configuration, routing information, development server details, integration metadata, and searchable documentation—enabling AI assistants to give more accurate guidance during development.

io.github.morinokami/astro-mcp MCP server FAQ
astro-mcp is an MCP server that integrates with Astro projects to provide AI models with runtime information, documentation, and integration metadata that cannot be easily discovered from project files alone.
Yes, astro-mcp is open-source and free to use. It is installed via npm in your Astro project.
Install the integration in your Astro project with `npx astro add astro-mcp`, then create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file (Cursor) or `.vscode/mcp.json` file (VSCode). The server automatically updates the config when the Astro dev server starts.
No, astro-mcp does not require authentication. It runs locally on your Astro development server at http://localhost:4321/__mcp/sse.
No, astro-mcp is marked as experimental and unstable. Use it with caution and expect potential breaking changes.
Yes, other Astro integrations can extend astro-mcp using the `mcp:setup` hook to add custom tools.

astro-mcp
MCP server to support Astro project development, inspired by antfu's nuxt-mcp.
[!IMPORTANT] This package is experimental and unstable. Proceed with caution when using it.
astro-mcp aims to help models understand your Astro project better, by providing them with information that cannot be easily accessed just by looking at the project files, such as:
- Runtime information about the Astro server
- Up-to-date Astro docs content
- Information about the Astro integrations you are using
Installation
In your Astro project directory, run the following command:
npx astro add astro-mcp
Manual installation
First, install the astro-mcp package:
npm install astro-mcp
Then, add the astro-mcp integration to your Astro config:
import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import mcp from "astro-mcp";
export default defineConfig({
integrations: [mcp()],
});
Usage
After installing the integration, the MCP server will be available at http://localhost:4321/__mcp/sse. To connect, create an empty configuration file in the appropriate location for your editor or tool:
| Editor/Tool | Configuration File |
|---|---|
| VSCode | .vscode/mcp.json |
| Cursor | .cursor/mcp.json |
| Windsurf | ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json |
| Claude Code | .mcp.json |
astro-mcp will automatically update the file when the Astro server starts.
Extending the MCP server
astro-mcp provides a hook called mcp:setup that other integrations can use to extend the MCP server. This is useful if you want to add custom tools to the MCP server.
export default function createExampleIntegration(): AstroIntegration {
return {
name: "example-integration",
hooks: {
"mcp:setup": async ({ mcp }) => {
mcp.tool("add", { a: z.number(), b: z.number() }, async ({ a, b }) => ({
content: [{ type: "text", text: String(a + b) }],
}));
},
},
};
}
