This MCP server is built around the Svelte CLI tool (sv). It enables workflows for creating and developing Svelte projects powered by sv, including project scaffolding, development server, and production build previews. You can use the available sv commands to create a new project, spin up a development server, and build or preview production output. Typical usage involves starting from a fresh shell, then invoking sv through npx to access the latest CLI without a global install, creating a project, then running development or build commands as needed. The server-side tooling exposed here focuses on the standard sv command surface: project creation, local development, and production previews, mirroring the common SV workflow used in SvelteKit projects integrated with sv.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js and npm (or a compatible Node environment) installed on your system.

Installation steps:

1. Ensure Node.js is installed. You can verify with: node -v npm -v

2. Use npx to run the sv CLI without a global install. The core workflow is:

   • Create a new project: npx sv create or npx sv create my-app

   • Move into your project folder and install dependencies: cd my-app npm install # (or pnpm install / yarn install)

   • Start the development server: npm run dev

     or open in a browser and automatically launch with:

     npm run dev -- --open

   • Build a production version: npm run build

   • Preview the production build locally: npm run preview

Note: Depending on your environment, you may install an adapter for your target deployment environment as suggested by SvelteKit adapters.

Tips and common considerations:

• sv is a Svelte project scaffolding/CLI tool; to use its project creation features, you typically run npx sv create. The exact prompts may vary by version, so pressing Enter to accept defaults is common.
• After creating a project, you usually run npm install to fetch dependencies before starting the dev server.
• If you plan to deploy, you may need to install and configure a specific adapter appropriate for your hosting environment (e.g., Vite/SvelteKit adapters).
• When using npx, ensure your network connection is stable to fetch the latest sv package. If you encounter permission issues, try running with a package manager that matches your workflow (npm, yarn, or pnpm).
• For production previews locally, the npm run preview script serves the built output; this is useful for quick checks before deployment.
