Starter code for a MCP server powered by ActionKit
Starter code for a MCP server powered by ActionKit. Exposed over MCP by the actionkit mcp starter mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Note — ABSOLUTE_PATH can be found by clicking a file in your Finder on MacYou will need 4 environment variables: USER, PARAGON_PROJECT_ID, SIGNING_KEY, ABSOLUTE_PATH. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
This sits in the planning and project tracking group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. ActionKit MCP Starter's toolset — Note — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by useparagon; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
