AI Integration
Nullstone integrates with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any other MCP-compatible client) across three surfaces:
| Surface | Purpose | Install |
|---|---|---|
| MCP Server | Lets agents take action — list stacks, deploy apps, spin up envs, tail logs, discover modules. | Install MCP |
| Skills Catalog | Teaches agents the shape and style of Nullstone YAML — when to trigger, which top-level key, the canonical idioms. | Install skills |
| Editor Integration | JSON-schema-driven autocomplete and validation in VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim, and more. | Published to schemastore.org |
Which do I need?
Pick based on what you want the agent to do:
- "Run plans, deploys, and env operations against my org." → MCP Server. One install gives every CLI command as a tool.
- "Edit
.nullstone/*.ymlcorrectly when I ask." → Skills Catalog + MCP Server. The skill codifies the style; the MCP gives the agentmodules_find/modules_describeto resolve unknown modules. - "Get autocomplete when I edit the YAML." → Editor Integration — no AI involved.
Most teams install all three. The MCP and the skills catalog are complementary: the MCP acts, the skills codify conventions.
Quick start
Install and configure the Nullstone CLI — follow Install/Configure the CLI. The MCP server shells out to
nullstone, so this is a prerequisite.Register the MCP server with your client. The server ships with the CLI as
nullstone mcp-server— no separate install. See Install MCP for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Cursor configurations.Install the skills catalog. In Claude Code, add the marketplace and install the plugin:
/plugin marketplace add nullstone-io/agent-skills /plugin install nullstone-skills@nullstoneOn other Agent Skills tools (Codex, Cursor, …), use the cross-tool installer instead:
npx skills add nullstone-io/agent-skills. See Install skills for the manual/pinned option and upgrades.
