MCP server — search 100+ engineering tools and get instant boilerplate for any stack
README
An MCP server that gives Claude (or any MCP-compatible AI) instant access to a curated matrix of 100+ engineering tools — search by name, tag, or use case, browse by category, and pull ready-to-use boilerplate files for 30+ popular stacks.
Free: search + 5 boilerplates (TypeScript, Python, React, Docker, Node.js) | Pro $15: all 33 boilerplates unlocked | Bundle $29: 3 MCP servers
Three tools, zero configuration:
search_engineering_matrix — find tools by name, tag, or use case. Multi-word queries work great.
"python linter" → Ruff, ESLint
"ci cd" → GitHub Actions
"database sql" → PostgreSQL, Prisma, Supabase
"container" → Docker, Kubernetes
list_categories — browse all 6 categories with tool counts: languages, frontend, backend, databases, devops, tooling.
get_repository_boilerplate — get starter files for a tool in one shot. Supports: TypeScript, Python, Node.js, React, Next.js, FastAPI, Docker, GitHub Actions, Rust, Go.
npx @engineeringmatrixexplorer/engineering-matrix-explorer
Or install globally:
npm install -g @engineeringmatrixexplorer/engineering-matrix-explorer
Open your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS) and add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"engineering-matrix-explorer": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@engineeringmatrixexplorer/engineering-matrix-explorer"]
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. You'll see the tools appear automatically.
claude mcp add engineering-matrix-explorer -- npx -y @engineeringmatrixexplorer/engineering-matrix-explorer
Once connected, try asking Claude:
