What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

orchestkit_docs_search
Search the OrchestKit documentation. Use this first to find the right page for a question. Input: a query string. Returns a ranked list of pages with titles and URLs.
orchestkit_docs_get
Fetch one OrchestKit documentation page as Markdown. Use after orchestkit_docs_search to read a page in full. Input: the page path (e.g. '/docs/getting-started/installation'). Returns the page Markdown.

Common questions

Is OrchestKit Docs MCP safe?

It passed 3 of 3 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?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (10.10.1) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Quick Start

Pick the host you actually use. Claude Code is the full plugin (skills + agents + hooks). Cursor gets the same ork plugin minus Claude hook scripts. skills.sh is skills only — start with the 12 below, not the whole catalog.

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add yonatangross/orchestkit

/plugin install ork

Then /ork:setup. The wizard scans the repo, recommends skills, and writes MCP config.

CLI equivalent: claude plugin marketplace add yonatangross/orchestkit && claude plugin install ork@orchestkit.

Channels: ork is the stable channel, pinned to the latest release. ork-alpha is the same plugin tracking main, in the same marketplace (claude plugin install ork-alpha@orchestkit); use it only if you want changes before they are released.

Cursor

Settings → Plugins / marketplaces → add yonatangross/orchestkit → enable ork → open a new chat. Same plugin Claude Code installs, not a five-skill fork. See Install → Cursor.

skills.sh (Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, …)

Starter 12 from measured installs plus the ork skills we retain (full why table under Install):

npx skills add yonatangross/orchestkit -s devops-deployment -s responsive-patterns -s architecture-decision-record -s ui-components -s rag-retrieval -s agent-orchestration -s brainstorm -s expect -s auto -s review-pr -s fix-issue -s commit

Full catalog: npx skills add yonatangross/orchestkit (hundreds of SKILL.md files; do not treat that as unique users). Live install totals stay on the skills.sh badge above.

Why OrchestKit?

Every Claude Code session starts from zero. You explain your stack, patterns, preferences—again and again.

OrchestKit gives Claude persistent knowledge of production patterns that work automatically:

Without	With OrchestKit
"Use FastAPI with async SQLAlchemy 2.0..."	"Create an API endpoint" → Done right
"Remember cursor pagination, not offset..."	Agents know your patterns
"Don't commit to main branch..."	Hooks block bad commits
"Run tests before committing..."	`/ork:commit` runs tests for you

What You Get

One unified plugin, everything included.

Component	Details
115 Skills	RAG patterns, FastAPI, React 19, testing, security, database design, ML integration — loaded on-demand, zero overhead
36 Agents	Specialized personas (backend-architect, frontend-dev, security-auditor) — route tasks to the right expert
163 Hooks	Pre-commit checks, git protection, quality gates, browser safety — ship with confidence

All available in a single /plugin install ork. Skills load on-demand. Hooks work automatically.

Key Commands

/ork:auto         # Front door: describe a goal, it routes to the right skill

/ork:setup # Personalized onboarding wizard /ork:implement # Full-stack implementation with parallel agents /ork:expect # Diff-aware AI browser testing /ork:review-pr # PR review with parallel agents /ork:verify # Multi-agent validation /ork:commit # Conventional commit with pre-checks /ork:explore # Analyze unfamiliar codebase /ork:remember # Save to persistent memory /ork:doctor # Health check

Configuration

/ork:setup detects your stack, recommends MCP servers, and writes the configuration for you.

Recommended MCP Servers

Server	Purpose	Required?
Context7	Up-to-date library docs	Prerequisite (22 of 36 agents grant its tools)
Memory	Knowledge graph persistence	Recommended
Sequential Thinking	Structured reasoning for subagents	Recommended
Tavily	Web search and extraction	Optional

Set "alwaysLoad": true on the first three in your .mcp.json. It skips the per-skill tool probe and shaves ~150ms off cold starts.

Context7 is a prerequisite, and ork does not ship it. 22 agents grant mcp__context7__* in their frontmatter, but .mcp.json is user-owned and project-scoped, so the grant refers to a server you add. Skip it and those agents answer from training data with no error raised. The recommended entry is the hosted HTTP server, which costs no local process:

"context7": {

"type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp" }

Free tier: 1,000 requests, public repos, no account. Context7 Pro ($10 per seat per month) raises that to 5,000 per seat and parses private repos; add "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${CONTEXT7_API_KEY}" } and export the ctx7sk- key. Add the header only once the variable is exported: with it unset the unexpanded literal is sent as the token and every query fails, and it does not fall back to the anonymous free tier, so the keyless entry above is strictly better than a header with no key behind it. The legacy stdio transport (npx -y @upstash/context7-mcp@4.0.2) is the fallback when the hosted endpoint is unreachable, but it spawns one child process per Claude Code session, so the fan-out scales with how many sessions you keep open.

Customizing skills

Skills install as files on your disk, but don't hand-edit the installed copy — it gets overwritten on update and silently diverges from the canonical playbook. The supported ways to extend (user-level skills, project skills, upstream PRs, or disabling a bundled skill) are in docs/extending-skills.md.

What OrchestKit observes

OrchestKit is a quality-gate plugin, so its hooks are the product rather than an add-on. This section states plainly what they see, where it goes, and how to turn each piece off.

Scope: broad and intentional. OrchestKit registers 163 hooks across 32 lifecycle events, including SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, PreToolUse, PostToolUse, and Stop. They are not gated to a particular framework or project type, because the gates they enforce (secret-write blocking, protected-file guards, git safety, file-size limits, agent status protocol) apply to any codebase. If you only want gates on some projects, enable the plugin per-project rather than globally.

Where data goes: a local file on your own disk.

What	Destination	Notes
Lifecycle events (session end, PR merged, goal converged, chain phase)	`~/.local/state/orchestkit/events.jsonl`	Written unconditionally, rotated at 10 MB. `ORK_EVENTS_LOG` redirects the path (used by the test suite)
Hook metrics: event name, tool name, payload size, duration	same local file	Size-capped metrics only
Hook telemetry log: event, tool name, session id, branch, timestamp, and tool inputs and outputs	`telemetry/events.jsonl` in the plugin data folder (or `.claude/telemetry/` in the project)	Secrets redacted, every string cut to 500 characters. Rotated at 10 MB at session end; rotated files deleted after 7 days
Prompt text	Not recorded in either log	Hooks read it to make an allow/deny decision, then discard it
Remote sync	Off	No endpoint is compiled in; see below

There is deliberately no global kill switch for the local write, because the gates depend on that state (the git-safety and chain-staleness hooks read their own prior events). To stop it entirely, disable the plugin. Individual noisy hooks have their own opt-outs: ORK_DISABLE_DEBT_TRACKER, ORK_DISABLE_WORKTREE_VERIFIER, ORK_DISABLE_COORDINATION_METRICS, ORK_NO_NOTIFY, ORK_NO_STALE_SWEEP, and ORCHESTKIT_SKIP_SLOW_HOOKS among others.

Network access from the hooks themselves is opt-in and unset by default. The only remote host compiled into the shipped hook bundles is api.typesafe.ai, used solely by the two opt-in TypeSafe settings below (`grep
