About Mcp Clean Code
Mcp Clean Code is an MCP server for coding work that helps plan clear, modular, maintainable code step by step, with support for revising decisions and exploring alternatives.
Key features
- 01Plan code architecture step by step
- 02Design modular components
- 03Revise earlier design decisions
- 04Explore alternative implementations
- 05Create documentation with English comments
Use cases
- 01Plan before writing complex code
- 02Design a feature or refactor
- 03Break functionality into maintainable components
MCP support
The MCP server exposes the cleancode tool to MCP clients for step-by-step code planning, design revisions, and branching into alternatives.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

GitHub Actions CI/CD
This repository includes a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically publishes the package to npm when a new release is created.
Setting up for automatic npm publishing
To enable automatic publishing to npm, you need to add an NPM_TOKEN secret to your GitHub repository:
-
Generate an npm access token:
- Go to npmjs.com and log in
- Click on your profile picture in the top right corner and select "Access Tokens"
- Click "Generate New Token" and choose the "Publish" option
- Copy the generated token
-
Add the token to your GitHub repository:
- Go to your GitHub repository
- Click on "Settings" > "Secrets and variables" > "Actions"
- Click "New repository secret"
- Name:
NPM_TOKEN - Value: Paste the token you copied from npm
- Click "Add secret"
-
Create a new release:
- Go to your GitHub repository
- Click on "Releases" > "Create a new release"
- Choose a tag version (e.g., v1.0.0)
- Add a release title and description
- Click "Publish release"
The GitHub Actions workflow will automatically trigger, build the package, and publish it to npm.

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.
