One-click MCP install for Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, and Windsurf.

We wanted Axint to work the way developers actually work in 2026 — inside an AI coding assistant. So we built an MCP server directly into the CLI.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the standard way AI tools talk to external software. Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code with Copilot, Windsurf — they all speak it. Axint exposes an MCP server with 36 tools and 5 built-in prompts:

**axint.scaffold** — spin up a new project with pinned deps, tsconfig, and a starter intent **axint.compile** — compile TypeScript or Python to Swift + plist + entitlements **axint.schema.compile** — compile directly from a JSON IR schema **axint.validate** — run the 4-stage validator without emitting files **axint.templates.list** — browse the built-in template library **axint.templates.get** — fetch a specific template's source

Setup takes 10 seconds

For Claude Code:

bash claude mcp add --transport stdio axint -- npx -y @axint/compiler axint-mcp

For Cursor and VS Code, click the install button on [axint.ai](https://axint.ai) — the deeplink registers the server automatically. No JSON editing.

For Windsurf, same pattern — native deeplink.

What the workflow looks like

You tell your AI assistant: "Create an App Intent that searches my notes by keyword."

It calls axint.scaffold, drafts the intent definition, runs axint.validate to catch errors, then axint.compile to generate Swift. The whole thing takes seconds. You review the generated code and merge it.

No Xcode. No Swift knowledge. No context switching.

The deeper walkthrough of how this plays out in Claude Code is in [a separate post](/blog/claude-code-mcp-integration). For now — install the MCP server and try asking your AI assistant to build an intent. It's a good demo.
