Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Read, edit, and analyze GeneXus 18 KB objects from Claude, Cursor, and AI agents.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

It passed 1 of 1 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.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

GeneXus MCP Server lets AI agents — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, and any MCP-compatible client — read, edit, analyze, and refactor objects inside a Knowledge Base supported by the selected native SDK or legacy compatibility driver. Native SDK paths work with the real GeneXus SDK and legacy paths use explicit reflection/COM adapters; neither path relies on a parsed copy of the KB.
In practice: you point the MCP at your KB, then ask your AI assistant things like *"list all transactions with attribute CustomerId"*, *"add a rule to the Order transaction that validates the total"*, or *"refactor this procedure to use the new SDT"* — and it does it.
Supported SDK majors: GeneXus 16, GeneXus 17, GeneXus 18, GeneXus Evolution 3 (native SDK). Basic legacy compatibility: GeneXus Evolution 2, GeneXus Evolution 1, GeneXus 15, GeneXus 9.0, GeneXus 8.0 via com-gxpublic and dotnet-reflection (not the native SDK build). Primary SDK: GeneXus 18. Source of truth: config/gx-versions.json.
gx-engineA quick map of what the agent can do against your real KB through the 60 tools (details in Tool Surface; new installs expose a 20-tool standard profile by default, see Tool profiles):
| Area | What the agent can do |
|---|---|
| 🔎 Explore | Search & list objects, read any part (source, rules, events, structure, docs, pattern XML), inspect metadata & callers, regex-search source, view the navigation report |
| 🧭 Orient & trace | Rank the objects a task touches, list direct and transitive callers, trace the shortest call path between two objects, check blast radius and safe-delete, follow one variable's data flow. Runs on exported sources through genexus_wire (read-only, token-budgeted); pack_task also works directly on the open native KB |
| ✏️ Edit code | Edit any object part (full/patch/ops modes), variables CRUD, format, create & delete objects, scaffold a Procedure from a curl command, edit + rebuild callers in one shot |
| 🗄️ Author the data model | Transaction structure (DSL), unique/non-unique indexes (create & drop), attribute formulas & subtypes, level Description/Image attributes, Domain enum values, folders & modules, table↔transaction relations & redundant-attribute detection, Data View–backed Business Components |
| 🧩 Author other objects | External Object methods & properties, Menu options, REST API objects, WorkWithPlus / WorkWith patterns, K2B Designer (through the IDE bridge), typed .NET generator references |
| 🎨 UI & WorkWithPlus | Full read/write of pattern XML (controls, actions, grids, orders, groups), theme classes & styling, native WebForm/layout edits, control catalog & design-system tokens/classes/images, headless-browser verification |
| 🔬 Analyze | Impact/dependency analysis, complexity & code metrics, naming, KB activity/freshness, reorg/DDL impact preview, native security scan, schema-drift check, ER diagrams |
| 🛠️ Build, test & deploy | Build (full or fast compile_check), validate, reorg, index, run native GXtest tests, deploy the application (targets + deploy) |
| 🔀 Refactor & compare | Rename across the KB, extract procedure, compare & merge objects (IDE parity), compare two KB directories |
| 🌿 Versioning, transfer & teams | KB model versions/branches, real XPZ export/import (dependency-aware), GXserver (Team Development) sync + CI pipelines, git-style history, multi-KB parallel work, disposable KB sandboxes |
| 🔐 Security | GAM / integrated-security provisioning, KB security audit + native Security Scanner |
Native SDK support works through the native GeneXus SDK — the same code paths the IDE uses — so edits are real and validated, not text hacks on KB files. Legacy support uses the reflection or COM driver listed in the catalog and degrades unsupported modern tools explicitly.
Before you start, make sure you have:
docs/generated/supported-versions.mdnode --version in a terminal; install from nodejs.org if missingYou do not need to clone this repo or install anything globally — npx handles it.
Never used a terminal before? Press Win+R, type powershell, hit Enter. That's your terminal.
Before running the installer, note these down:
GeneXus.exe lives. Usually C:\Program Files (x86)\GeneXus\GeneXus18. .gxw file and knowledgebase.connection).Not sure where your KB lives? Open it in GeneXus and check the title bar, or look in File → Recent.
Open a terminal and run, replacing the paths with your KB folder and your GeneXus install:
npx genexus-mcp@latest init --kb "C:\KBs\YourKB" --gx "C:\Program Files (x86)\GeneXus\GeneXus18"
Prefer the wizard? Run
npx genexus-mcp@latest init --interactiveand answer the prompts. Runninginitfrom inside a KB folder also works: the KB path is detected from the current directory.
What happens (takes ~30 seconds the first time, faster on re-runs):
npx downloads the package..gxw) matches the selected installation and is supported. It stops before writing anything when they conflict.config.json.--no-write-clients to skip, or --all-clients to write every known client).On Windows, Antigravity is registered with the gateway executable bundled in the current npm package when that artifact is available, so it skips the npx bootstrap chain on every MCP handshake. That path follows the package in the npx cache; after an upgrade, run npx genexus-mcp@latest clients add --clients antigravity again if genexus-mcp clients reports a stale launcher. Other clients keep the npx genexus-mcp@latest launcher unless you use the fixed-path installer below.
Step 1 auto-registers every supported client it detects, including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Codex CLI, and VS Code. Run npx genexus-mcp clients to confirm. If yours wasn't detected, register it manually — see the client setup guide.
This part trips most people: fully close your AI client and reopen it. Not just the window — the whole process.
opencode.json / opencode.jsonc.Then paste this prompt:
*"Using the GeneXus MCP, list the first 5 objects in my KB and show name + type."*
What should happen:
genexus_list_objects tool (some UIs show "calling tool…").If you get a list back — you're done. Skip to What can I ask the AI? for ideas.
If the AI says it doesn't have a GeneXus tool, or nothing happens, go to Troubleshooting — most issues are covered there.
If you'd rather not run anything in the terminal yourself, paste this into your AI chat:
Please configure the GeneXus MCP server. Run
npx genexus-mcp@latest init --kb " " --gx " "in the terminal. If I haven't told you my GeneXus path and KB path yet, ask me first. Once it succeeds, runnpx genexus-mcp clientsto confirm my client is registered, and tell me when I should restart the client to start using GeneXus tools.
Replace the placeholders or let the AI ask you for them.
If your machine has Microsoft Defender ASR, SmartScreen, or another endpoint policy blocking unsigned binaries, the default npx flow is painful — npx caches the package under %LOCALAPPDATA%\npm-cache\_npx\ \..., and the changes per version, so IT can't whitelist a stable path without a wildcard over the whole npm cache (which is too broad).
Use the corporate installer instead. It extracts the binaries to a stable directory, creates a neutral runtime configuration (no hardcoded KB), and registers the AI clients to launch the gateway directly from there — npx is never on the runtime path.
