What problem does it solve?

Bootstrap TappsMCP in a project so teams can quickly deploy a persistent, server-backed memory infrastructure with agents, MCP config, and boilerplate scaffolding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates AGENTS.md, TECH_STACK.md, platform rules, hooks, agents, skills, and MCP config.
  • Provides a ready-to-run bootstrap workflow for new and existing codebases.
  • Includes guidance for troubleshooting with the doctor tool and ensuring MCP auto-approval rules.

Quick Start

Run the full bootstrap pipeline from the project root using mcp__tapps-mcp__tapps_init and review the generated boilerplate.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap MCP config and agent scaffolding in an existing codebase?

To bootstrap MCP config in an existing project, run the initialization pipeline from your project root to generate AGENTS.md, platform rules, and hooks. The process supports both new and existing codebases by validating file write operations and providing boilerplate diagnostics.

What files are generated when setting up project automation with an agent brain?

Setting up an agent brain generates AGENTS.md, TECH_STACK.md, platform rules, hooks, agents, skills, and MCP config files. This scaffolding provides a persistent, server-backed memory infrastructure to quickly deploy automated project workflows.

Can I use this project setup tool without installing additional dependencies?

Yes, you can use this project setup tool without external dependencies because it requires only the included MCP tools. It operates independently to validate file write operations and generate the necessary boilerplate without needing extra packages.

How do I troubleshoot MCP auto-approval rules and platform hooks that aren't working?

To troubleshoot MCP auto-approval rules and hooks that aren't working, use the included doctor tool for diagnostics. The initialization pipeline provides specific guidance for resolving integration issues and ensuring your platform rules function correctly.

What's the best way to integrate a persistent server-backed memory infrastructure for agents?

The best way to integrate server-backed memory infrastructure is to run the full bootstrap pipeline in your project root. This automatically scaffolds your agents, MCP config, and skills while providing diagnostic tools to validate the setup.

Why does project bootstrap fail to write platform rules and config files?

Project bootstrap may fail to write platform rules if file write operations are not validated correctly or existing codebase integration conflicts occur. Use the doctor tool to run diagnostics, identify file write failures, and apply the recommended troubleshooting guidance.
