MCP support
This is an MCP server that can be added to MCP clients such as Claude Desktop; the README does not list the specific tools it exposes.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Databutton MCP Server
Databutton's (https://www.databutton.com/) AI agent builds and deploys frontends and backends in React and Python APIs/MCPs, for building beautiful business apps with unbounded complexity.
The agent has a planning mode for generating an initial plan for your app.
This MCP server is for doing doing initial app planning and creating a good starting point for an app.
Installation
To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:
On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"databutton": {
"command": "/path/to/databutton/build/index.js"
}
}
}
Development
Install dependencies:
npm install
Build the server:
npm run build
For development with auto-rebuild:
npm run watch
Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:
npm run inspector
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
