AI Integration

Nullstone integrates with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any other MCP-compatible client) across three surfaces:

SurfacePurposeInstall
MCP ServerLets agents take action — list stacks, deploy apps, spin up envs, tail logs, discover modules.Install MCP
Skills CatalogTeaches agents the shape and style of Nullstone YAML — when to trigger, which top-level key, the canonical idioms.Install skills
Editor IntegrationJSON-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/*.yml correctly when I ask."Skills Catalog + MCP Server. The skill codifies the style; the MCP gives the agent modules_find/modules_describe to 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

  1. Install and configure the Nullstone CLI — follow Install/Configure the CLI. The MCP server shells out to nullstone, so this is a prerequisite.

  2. 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.

  3. 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@nullstone

    On 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.
