Overview

AI-generated overview

Browses the Symbola registry of software packs, reads the decisions each pack makes, and returns build steps for a coding agent.

What you can do
  • Search packs by name, summary, id or category, or list them all
  • Get a pack overview: what it builds, version, decision count, components, files and download link
  • Read a pack's decisions, filtered by component or keywords, with each marked decided, default or open
  • Read individual pack files such as PRODUCT.md, AGENTS.md, BRIEF.md, obligations.toml, assumptions, component configs and examples
  • Get build steps for a pack, including a one-line request to paste into a coding agent
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to find ready-made software specifications, answer questions about what a pack decides, or hand a coding agent a concrete build plan. In a chat without a shell, it can still explain the steps or produce the paste-ready request.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at symbola.sh over streamable HTTP; no package, environment variables or headers are declared. Building a pack needs a shell-capable coding agent such as Claude Code.
Before you install
The server is read-only for browsing, but building a pack means installing the symbola CLI and running build steps in a shell, which writes files and runs checks on your machine. Review the pack's decisions and files before building.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Symbola in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.spikinglabs%2Fsymbola/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

search_packs

Search packs

Search the Symbola registry for packs: software a coding agent can build from its decisions. Matches words against each pack's name, summary, id and category. With no query, lists every pack.

Parameterslimitquerycategory

get_pack

Get a pack

Overview of one pack: what it builds, its version, how many decisions it holds, its components, its page and download link, and the files it holds.

Parameterspackrequired

read_decisions

Read decisions

The decisions a pack makes: each one a rule a builder could get wrong, with its status (decided, default or open). Narrow them to one component or to decisions mentioning some words.

Parameterspackrequiredquerystatuscomponent

read_pack_file

Read a pack file

Read one file of a pack, e.g. PRODUCT.md (the whole product), AGENTS.md (how to build it), BRIEF.md, obligations.toml, an assumption, or a component's symbolon.toml or examples.jsonl. "pack.md" is the whole pack as one Markdown page.

Parameterspackrequiredpathrequired

get_build_steps

Get build steps

How to build a pack: the steps a coding agent with a shell follows (install the symbola CLI, pull the pack, build each component and run its checks), and a one-line request the user can paste into Claude Code or another coding agent.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
