Skydeckai Code MCP Server

Skydeckai code mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with Skydeckai Code directly. An MCP server that provides a comprehensive set of tools for AI-driven development workflows. Features include file system operations, code analysis using tree-sitter for multiple programming languages, code execution, web content fetching with HTML-to-markdown conversion, multi-engine web search.

What Skydeckai Code does

An MCP server that provides a comprehensive set of tools for AI-driven development workflows. Features include file system operations, code analysis using tree-sitter for multiple programming languages, code execution, web content fetching with HTML-to-markdown conversion, multi-engine web search, code content searching, and system information retrieval. Designed to enhance AI's capability to assist in software development tasks by providing direct access to both local and remote resources.

Key capabilities

• File system operations (read, write, edit, move, copy, delete)
• Directory management and traversal
• Multi-language code analysis using tree-sitter
• Code content searching with regex pattern matching
• Multi-language code execution with safety measures
• Web content fetching from APIs and websites with HTML-to-markdown conversion
• Multi-engine web search with reliable fallback mechanisms
• Batch operations for parallel and serial tool execution

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 14 tools directly:

• Category — Tool Name
• System — get_system_info
• Utility — batch_tools
• Todo — todo_read
• description — string
• sequential — boolean
• invocations — array
• edit_file — The edit_file tool exposed by this server
• directory_tree — The directory_tree tool exposed by this server
• codebase_mapper — The codebase_mapper tool exposed by this server
• search_code — This tool uses ripgrep when available for optimal performance, with a Python fallback implementation. It's ideal for finding specific code patterns like
• get_active_apps — Returns a list of currently active applications on the user's system
• get_available_windows — Returns detailed information about all available windows currently displayed on the user's screen
• capture_screenshot — Captures a screenshot of the user's screen or a specific window

Installing the skydeckai code mcp server

The server is distributed via PyPI as uvx, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Skydeckai Code sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Category, System, Utility among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

• This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
• With 14 tools exposed, expect a noticeable bump in prompt size — disable it in projects that never use Skydeckai Code.
• Maintained by skydeckai, written in Python.
• MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the skydeckai code mcp server actually does with your data.
• Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
