KitGrade MCP

Looks up starter kits and boilerplates and reports what is actually wired up versus what only appears in the README.

What it does

KitGrade MCP exposes a single tool, grade_starter_kit, which answers questions about starter kits and boilerplates by grading them on installation rather than on documentation claims. It takes an optional query and limit, so an assistant can narrow the search or cap the number of results. The server is published as the npm package kitgrade-mcp and runs locally over stdio, with an optional streamable HTTP mode on a local port.

When to use it

Useful when choosing a starter kit, template, or boilerplate and you want an assistant to check what is genuinely configured instead of trusting the project's README. It fits early project scaffolding decisions where comparing several kits matters.

Requirements

Runs as a local process on the user's machine, desktop only, started via npx from the npm package kitgrade-mcp. No API key, signup, environment variables, or headers are declared. Network access is needed to fetch the package and to reach the KitGrade service.
