mcp-builder-forge

The father of MCP servers — Build, maintain and orchestrate MCP servers for Linux system administration.

What is this?

mcp-builder-forge is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that builds other MCP servers. It provides tools for:

  • Project Scaffolding — Generate complete MCP server projects with FastMCP, Pydantic validation, tests, and Dockerfile
  • Web Research — Extract documentation from URLs and convert OpenAPI specs to MCP servers
  • Linux Command Discovery — Parse man pages and --help output to generate typed MCP tools
  • Multi-Distribution Support — SUSE, RHEL, Debian/Ubuntu with auto-detection and adaptation
  • Security Enforcement — Read-only/execute modes, shell injection prevention, supply chain verification
  • Knowledge Base — Persistent learning about distributions, tools, errors, and solutions
