What is the Arm MCP Server?

Official Arm MCP server for code migration, optimization, and Arm architecture guidance

The short version

An MCP server providing AI assistants with tools and knowledge for Arm architecture development, migration, and optimization.

  • Knowledge Base Search — Semantic search across Arm documentation, learning resources, intrinsics, and software compatibility information
  • Code Migration Analysis — Scan codebases for Arm compatibility using migrate-ease (supports C++, Python, Go, JavaScript, Java)
  • Container Architecture Inspection — Check Docker image architecture support using integrated Skopeo and check-image tools
  • Assembly Performance Analysis — Analyze assembly code performance using LLVM-MCA
  • Arm Performix — Run APX recipe workflows against a target device over SSH to capture and analyze workload performance data
  • System Information — Instructions for gathering detailed system architecture information via sysreport

What it needs from you

  • Docker (with buildx support for multi-arch builds) - An MCP-compatible AI assistant client (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Kiro CLI, Codex CLI, Claude Code, etc)
