An MCP server providing Metal Framework documentation search and code generation capabilities.
Metal MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Metal directly instead of describing what you should do. An MCP server providing Metal Framework documentation search and code generation capabilities.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @modelcontextprotocol/create-server on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Once Metal is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Parameters — - query: Natural language query about Metal Frameworklimit — Maximum number of results to return (default: 3)language — Programming language (objective-c, swift, or metal)Tools — 1. search_metal_docs - Search Metal Framework documentation and code examples using natural language queries - Parameters: - query: Natural languageResources — 1. metal://docs/getting-started - Comprehensive guide for getting started with Metal FrameworkAmong the knowledge and memory options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Metal's toolset — Parameters, limit, language and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by aldrin-labs; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

A knowledge graph your assistant keeps between sessions — entities, relations and observations that persist.
Kill hallucinated APIs — version-accurate, up-to-date library documentation injected straight into context.
Your workspace, on speaking terms with AI — search, read and write Notion pages and databases.
A structured scratchpad for hard problems — stepwise reasoning with revisions, branches and visible logic.
Symbol-level code navigation, refactoring and memory for coding agents — the IDE brain your assistant has been missing.
Chat with your second brain — search, read and write vault notes through the Local REST API.
