What is the Architecture Pattern MCP Server?

Architecture Pattern MCP is an MCP integration. MCP server that provides architecture design expertise to AI coding agents.

Packages and local setup

The published oci package is docker.io/olkowa/architecture-pattern-mcp:1.1.3. Its declared MCP transport is stdio.

The package declares GENERATOR_API_KEY (required): API key for the generator LLM (LiteLLM provider).; GENERATOR_PROVIDER: LiteLLM provider prefix, e.g. openai, anthropic, openrouter, minimax.; GENERATOR_MODEL: Model name, combined as / via LiteLLM.; GENERATOR_BASE_URL: OpenAI-compatible base URL (LiteLLM api_base).; PATTERN_DIRECTORY: Directory with -pattern.json files. The image bakes the 40-pattern catalogue at /app/pattern.; EMBEDDER_PROVIDER: Embedding backend for pattern retrieval: tei, openai, ollama, vllm or hosted_vllm.; EMBEDDER_BASE_URL (required): Required: the dense retrieval leg embeds the 40-pattern catalogue during startup warmup and the server refuses to start when the endpoint is unreachable. OpenAI-compatible embeddings endpoint ending in /v1: on the Docker host use http://host.docker.internal:8080/v1 (add --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway on Linux); on a shared Docker network use http://pattern-tei-embed:8080/v1.; EMBEDDER_API_KEY: API key for the embedder. Keyless TEI accepts any non-empty value; use 'not-needed' there.; RERANKER_BASE_URL (required): Required: pattern retrieval runs a mandatory TEI cross-encoder rerank. On the Docker host use http://host.docker.internal:8080; on a shared Docker network use http://pattern-tei-rerank:8080..

This package has launch arguments in its registry record. Use the maintainer’s configuration for those arguments rather than launching it with only the package name.

Before connecting

Check the maintainer’s instructions for account access, authentication and the supported client configuration. Once connected, inspect the tools your client receives and try a small task that matches the server’s stated purpose. The registry description does not include a verified, complete tool list.
