MCP Server Make by MCP-Mirror - MCP Server

The MCP Server Make is a specialized server that integrates with the Model Context Protocol to provide make functionality to Language Learning Models (LLMs) like Claude. It allows these models to execute make targets from a Makefile, capturing output and handling errors in a controlled environment. This server is particularly useful for automating development tasks, managing project dependencies, and maintaining code quality. It respects the working directory context and provides descriptive error messages for common issues, making it a robust tool for enhancing development workflows.
