Common questions
Is Sw Dev Knowledge Base MCP safe?
It passed 2 of 2 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 20 days ago, and the latest version (0.1.7) reached the registry 20 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.
What can I use instead?
In the same category: Ruflo, Context7, Metabase

sw-dev-knowledge-base-mcp
A read-only, offline MCP server that lets a coding agent ls/grep/cat a curated Shopware developer and merchant knowledge base without leaving its session — plus the factory that builds that knowledge base.
The corpus ships inside the package, so the server needs no network at runtime, no API key and no index: it is a filesystem view over plain Markdown.
Install
npx -y @execuro-sw-ecosystem/sw-dev-knowledge-base-mcp@<version>
Node >= 20. The published package declares no dependencies — its two third-party libraries, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk and zod, are inlined into dist/server.js, and every other import is a node: builtin. Their licences are in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md.
Configure it as an MCP server
Register it as a stdio server. In an .mcp.json-style client configuration:
{
"mcpServers": { "ShopwareDevKnowledgeBase": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@execuro-sw-ecosystem/sw-dev-knowledge-base-mcp@ "] } } }
Pin an exact version: the corpus is part of the package, so the version is the content.
Options, all optional:
| Flag | Environment variable | Effect |
|---|---|---|
--wiki-root | WIKI_ROOT | Serve an arbitrary wiki root instead of the packaged wiki/ |
--corpus | KB_CORPUS | Select a corpus defined in kb.config.json (the package ships only wiki) |
--project-wiki | KB_PROJECT_WIKI | Add your own project wiki as a project layer; off disables it |
The tools it exposes
| Tool | Shell equivalent | What it returns |
|---|---|---|
list_docs | ls (with depth, glob) | Directory entries, titles from frontmatter, the directory's index.md |
grep_docs | grep -rin over *.md | Match lines with context, or files/count modes |
read_doc | cat / sed -n | A page or line range, its frontmatter and a citable path:from-to |
kb_status | cat /manifest.json | Which layers and corpus are served, with provenance and counts |
Line numbers are identical to the shell's, so a grep_docs hit pages straight into read_doc. There is no ranking and no search engine: discovery quality comes from the corpus's own index.md lines, keywords, hubs and synonyms file. The server writes nothing and opens no network connection.
What is in the corpus
wiki/platform/ — a retrieval-oriented rewrite of Shopware's official documentation: developer docs for 6.6 and 6.7, merchant/functional docs, topic hub pages, curated per-version guideline files and a synonyms index. It is path-addressed: version and doc type are directories (platform/dev/6.7/…, platform/func/…), never parameters. wiki/README.md describes the layout and how to navigate it with a plain shell.
The published tarball is 2.7 MB (10.0 MB unpacked, 2006 files); its top level is exactly LICENSE README.md THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md dist kb.config.json package.json wiki.
Working on this repository
End users never clone this repository — it is the *factory* that produces the package above:
| Path | What it is |
|---|---|
src/ | MCP server source (builds dist/server.js) |
ingest/ | The deterministic ingest CLI: sync, pages, hubs, guidelines, build, synonyms, lint |
wiki/ | The generated documentation corpus — never hand-edited, except wiki/platform/index.md |
test/ | Server and ingest test suite (node --test): 465 tests, zero skips |
scripts/ | setup-sources.mjs, setup-docs.mjs, pack.mjs |
docs/ | Maintainer guides — see Documentation |
.claude/ | kb-factory-* skills, pinned writer/verify agents, and the two kb-verify-* hooks |
.sources/ | Gitignored, created by npm run setup — pinned Shopware source and docs clones |
npm ci
npm run setup # fetches .sources/ — see "One-time setup" below npm run build # typecheck + bundle src/ -> dist/server.js npm test # build, then the full test suite npm run wiki:lint # blocking schema/link/id/size checks over wiki/platform/
Run /kb-factory-setup (a Claude Code skill, see CONTRIBUTING.md) once per clone before running the verify suite or an ingest writer — it installs the two hooks that keep each agent inside its own corpus, without which neither is trustworthy.
One-time setup — what npm run setup actually does
npm run setup fetches two things you did not ask for by name into a gitignored .sources/:
- ~250 MB of pinned Shopware source (
.sources/shopware/ /, a sparse tag-pinned git checkout — not acomposer install, no PHP needed) that the code check and code-evidence lanes read. - ~1 GB of official documentation clones (
.sources/docs/{developer,merchant}/) that thedocstest corpus serves.
It is idempotent, resumable and an offline no-op once satisfied. The `merchant` documentation mirror is a private repository. On a host without access, setup prints what is unavailable and continues — that is deliberate: a missing optional input degrades the run rather than failing it, and the committed wiki/platform/func/ layer stays usable either way. Full detail: docs/sources.md.
