Cargo MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides safe access to Cargo operations for Rust projects.

Features

This MCP server exposes the following Cargo tools:

cargo_check - Verify code compiles without producing executables
cargo_clippy - Run the Clippy linter for code suggestions
cargo_test - Execute project tests
cargo_fmt_check - Check code formatting without modifying files
cargo_build - Build the project (debug or release mode)
cargo_bench - Run benchmarks
cargo_add - Add dependencies to Cargo.toml
cargo_remove - Remove dependencies from Cargo.toml
cargo_update - Update dependencies
cargo_clean - Remove artifacts that cargo has generated in the past
cargo_run - Run a binary or example

All tools support setting custom environment variables via the cargo_env parameter and rust toolchain with the toolchain parameter.

Installation

cargo install cargo-mcp
