Duck Framework MCP — Claude Code MCP server: how to install
Remote MCP server for building Python web apps with Duck Framework. Helps AI assistants scaffold project trees, wire routing, and set up reactive UI components.
claude mcp add --transport http duckframework-mcp https://duckframework.com/mcpWhat Duck Framework MCP does
This MCP server connects AI coding assistants to the Duck Framework toolset. Duck bundles its own web server and reactive engine with real-time WebSocket communication, removing the need for a separate frontend JavaScript stack. The server gives your agent context on file layouts, view logic, and component trees.
You can draft starter projects, build interfaces using Lively and Quirl components, or connect Duck features to Django for HTTP/2 support. Running the generated applications requires Python 3.10 or newer. Because the MCP endpoint lives at https://duckframework.com/mcp, setup does not require building local packages.
What it helps with
- Scaffold new Duck Framework project structures
- Configure application routes in
urls.pyand view handlers - Implement Lively and Quirl reactive UI components
- Add HTTP/2 and HTTPS features to an existing Django codebase
Example prompts for the agent
- Scaffold a new Duck project with initial templates and routing
- Build a reactive Lively component that updates data over WebSocket
- Integrate Duck HTTP/2 security capabilities into an existing Django app
