I built a tool that auto-generates MCP servers from any codebase
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is how AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf connect to external software. You write an MCP server that exposes "tools", and the AI can call them. The problem? Writing MCP servers by hand is tedious. You're essentially translating your app's existing API surface — CLI commands, HTTP endpoints, Python functions — into MCP tool definitions. For a FastAPI app with 20 routes, that's a lot of boilerplate. So I automated it. What is MCP-Anything? pip install -e ".[dev]" mcp-anything generate /path/to/your/app One command. It scans your project, figures out what it does, and generates a complete MCP server package — pip-installable, with tests, docs, and a ready-to-paste config for Claude Code. GitHub: github.com/gabrielekarra/mcp-anything How it works The pipeline has 6 phases: ANALYZE → DESIGN → IMPLEMENT → TEST → DOCUMENT → PACKAGE Phase 1: Analyze Eight detectors scan for IPC mechanisms — how does this app communicate with the outside world? CLI — arg
