Features -------- [](#features) - **Codegen-first CLI** for OpenAPI 3.1, AsyncAPI 3.0, OpenRPC/JSON-RPC, GraphQL, and Protobuf/gRPC - **Agent-friendly MCP server** with CLI-equivalent project init and code generation tools - **Real starter projects** via `spikard init` for Python, TypeScript, Rust, Ruby, PHP, and Elixir - **Shared Rust runtime** with Tower HTTP middleware, WebSockets, SSE, and gRPC support - **Quality-validated output** with formatter, syntax, and lint/type checks for generated code Supported Languages ------------------- [](#supported-languages) LanguageRuntime / ToolchainPackage ManagerRust1.85+cargoPython3.10+pip / uvTypeScript5.xnpm / pnpm / yarnRuby3.2+gem / bundlerPHP8.2+composerElixir1.18+ / OTP 27+mix / hexInstallation ------------ [](#installation) ``` cargo install spikard-cli ``` Quick Start ----------- [](#quick-start) Install the CLI, scaffold a real project, and generate typed handlers: ``` spikard init my_api --lang python --dir . cd my_api uv sync uv run python -m my_api.app ``` Generate code from a schema with the current command surface: ``` # OpenAPI 3.1 spikard generate openapi examples/schemas/auth-service.openapi.yaml --lang python --output ./generated.py # GraphQL spikard generate graphql examples/schemas/social.graphql --lang typescript --output ./src/generated.ts # Protobuf / gRPC spikard generate protobuf examples/schemas/user-service.proto --lang rust --output ./src/generated.rs ``` MCP --- [](#mcp) The CLI ships with an MCP server by default, exposing the same init and code generation surface over stdio: ``` spikard mcp ``` That MCP surface includes `init_project`, `generate_openapi`, `generate_asyncapi_handlers`, `generate_jsonrpc`, `generate_graphql`, `generate_protobuf`, `generate_asyncapi_fixtures`, `generate_asyncapi_test_app`, `generate_asyncapi_bundle`, `validate_asyncapi`, and `get_features`. For HTTP transport, build or install with the `mcp-http` feature and run: ``` cargo run -p spikard-cli --features mcp-http -- mcp --transport http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 3001 ``` Code Generation Support ----------------------- [](#code-generation-support) FormatGenerated TargetsOpenAPI 3.1Python, TypeScript, Rust, Ruby, PHP, ElixirAsyncAPI 3.0Python, TypeScript, Rust, Ruby, PHP, ElixirOpenRPC / JSON-RPCPython, TypeScript, Rust, Ruby, PHP, ElixirGraphQL SDL / introspectionPython, TypeScript, Rust, Ruby, PHP, ElixirProtobuf / gRPCPython, TypeScript, Rust, Ruby, PHP, ElixirAll generated output is validated before write-out, and `spikard init` starter projects now produce real, idiomatic project layouts for every supported binding.
