Package Exports

@vibeframe/mcp-server
@vibeframe/mcp-server/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@vibeframe/mcp-server) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

@vibeframe/mcp-server

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for VibeFrame. This package is only the MCP adapter — it exposes VibeFrame's operations as typed MCP tools so a host (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, …) can call them by natural language.

Just want a CLI? Use @vibeframe/cli instead — same operations, invoked directly in your shell as vibe <command>. This package and the CLI wrap the same underlying engine; pick whichever fits your workflow. Many users install both.

Surface	Package	How you call it
MCP host (Claude Desktop / Cursor / Claude Code)	`@vibeframe/mcp-server` (this)	host calls tool by name → `mcp__vibeframe__scene_init({...})`
Shell / scripts	`@vibeframe/cli`	`vibe scene init my-promo`
Standalone agent REPL	`@vibeframe/cli` (`vibe agent`)	natural language → CLI calls

The tool list below is what the MCP host sees. The same operations exist as vibe <verb> <noun> subcommands in the CLI — see vibe --help.

Quick Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibeframe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@vibeframe/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibeframe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@vibeframe/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add vibeframe -- npx -y @vibeframe/mcp-server

What You Can Do

Once connected, your MCP host can resolve prompts like these into typed tool calls:

"Scaffold a 12-second Swiss-Pulse promo project, three beats, and render it" → scene_init + 3× scene_add + scene_render

"Generate a cinematic backdrop image, animate it for 5 seconds, add narration" → generate_image + generate_motion + generate_speech

"Remove silent segments and add captions to my interview" → edit_silence_cut + edit_caption

Available Tools (63)

Tool names are MCP-side. Your host typically prefixes them (e.g. Claude shows them as mcp__vibeframe__scene_init). Each one wraps the same engine call as the matching vibe CLI subcommand.

CLI ↔ MCP sync: packages/mcp-server/src/tools/cli-sync.test.ts is a vitest hook that fails CI when a CLI subcommand is added/removed/renamed without the matching MCP change. Open the test file to see the live mapping table — null rows mark known TODOs (currently edit_fill_gaps and analyze_suggest).
