stencil-mcp
Provides AI coding agents with version-aware StencilJS API references, decorator signatures, lifecycle hooks, and best practices to help them write idiomatic Stencil code.
README
@stencil/mcp
A Model Context Protocol server that gives AI coding agents accurate, version-aware knowledge of a StencilJS project.
Proof-of-concept for stenciljs/core#6518.
Why
AI agents frequently suggest non-idiomatic Stencil code — e.g. manually adding a
window.addEventListener in componentWillLoad instead of using the built-in
@Listen() decorator, or mutating a @Prop. This server exposes Stencil's real
API surface and best practices to the agent so it can self-correct, and tells it
which Stencil version the project is actually running.
Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
detect_stencil_version |
Resolves the version from node_modules/@stencil/core (authoritative) and the declared range in package.json. |
get_decorator_reference |
Signatures, idiomatic examples, and anti-patterns for @Component, @Prop, @State, @Watch, @Event, @Listen, @Method, @Element, @AttachInternals. |
get_lifecycle_reference |
The component lifecycle hooks and when each fires. |
get_best_practices |
Concrete "wrong vs right" rules so agents use built-in Stencil features. |
All reference content is sourced from Stencil's own public runtime type declarations, so it matches the framework rather than guessing.
Usage
npm install && npm run build
Register with an MCP-capable client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, etc.):

"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@stencil/mcp"]
}
}
}
Develop
npm run build # compile TypeScript
npm test # unit tests (node:test)
node test/smoke.mjs # end-to-end MCP stdio test
