arch-mcp

MCP server for Python API architecture controls. Validates code against architecture rules and best practices.

Quick Start

Option 1: Hosted (Recommended)

No install needed. Just add to your config:

Claude Code:

claude mcp add arch-controls --url https://arch-mcp.sid.sh/sse

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "arch-controls": {
      "url": "https://arch-mcp.sid.sh/sse"
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Local via uvx

Run locally without installing:

Claude Code:

claude mcp add arch-controls -- uvx arch-mcp

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "arch-controls": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["arch-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Option 3: Local Install

pip install arch-mcp

Claude Code:

claude mcp add arch-controls -- arch-mcp

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "arch-controls": {
      "command": "arch-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Tools

Rule Categories

• security - Secrets management, SQL injection prevention, input validation
• data-access - Repository pattern, async database operations
• error-handling - Custom exceptions, specific exception catches
• api-design - Pydantic schemas, dependency injection
• logging - Structured logging, no print statements
• configuration - Pydantic settings, environment variables
• testing - Pytest patterns, fixtures

Architecture Patterns

• clean-architecture - Domain-driven with clear layer separation
• feature-based - Organized by feature/module
• simple - Minimal structure for small projects

Example Usage

Once connected, ask your AI assistant:

• "List all security rules"
• "Validate this code against architecture rules"
• "Show me the recommended project structure"
• "Check if my imports follow clean architecture"
