The infrastructure platform for the intelligence era
Encore is an infrastructure platform MCP server that enables AI coding agents to introspect applications and infrastructure in real time. It exposes services, APIs, databases, and traces through the Model Context Protocol, allowing agents like Cursor and Claude Code to validate their code changes against actual infrastructure. The MCP server integrates with Encore's infrastructure SDK for TypeScript and Go, providing agents visibility into the application graph and deployment state during development workflows.

It provides agents with infrastructure context so they can validate their code changes against actual running systems.
How do I install the Encore MCP server?+
Install the Encore CLI using 'brew install encoredev/tap/encore' (macOS), 'curl -L https://encore.dev/install.sh | bash' (Linux), or 'iwr https://encore.dev/install.ps1 | iex' (Windows). Then create an app with 'encore app create' and select your AI tool to auto-generate MCP configuration files.
Which AI clients work with the Encore MCP server?+
The Encore MCP server works with Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI tools that support the Model Context Protocol. When you scaffold a project, Encore generates the appropriate configuration files for your chosen AI tool.
Do I need API keys to use the Encore MCP server?+
For local development and MCP introspection, you only need the open source Encore CLI installed. API keys or cloud credentials are only required if you deploy to AWS or GCP using the optional Encore Cloud platform.
