Use cases
What you can do with Aki MCP Server
Concrete tasks you can hand to a web AI. Every step is a separate, permitted tool call that shows up in the chat as it happens.
Fix a bug from your phone
You are away from your desk and a bug report lands.
- 1Open Claude or ChatGPT on your phone and describe the bug.
- 2It searches the repo, reads the files, and checks
git statusand the diff. - 3It edits the file inside the folder you allowed, then runs your typecheck or tests.
- 4It shows the diff and sends a desktop notification when the fix is done.
QA a web app in a real browser
Verify a change end-to-end without opening your IDE.
- 1It checks your dev server and the port it runs on.
- 2It launches a Chrome profile clone that keeps your existing login session.
- 3It navigates, interacts with the page, and captures screenshots.
- 4It reports issues with clear reproduction steps.
Debug an API in Postman
Iterate on a request and its tests hands-free.
- 1It inspects the request currently open in Postman.
- 2It sends the request and reads the response and test results.
- 3It adjusts the request or the tests as needed.
- 4It re-runs and confirms the fix.
Check on a running job from anywhere
A long build or training run is going and you want a status update.
- 1Ask the AI to check the background task and tail its log.
- 2It reads the latest lines and summarizes progress or errors.
- 3If needed, it cleans temp files or restarts a permitted task.
Scheduled, unattended automation
Pair Grok scheduled prompts with your local server, with nobody at the keyboard.
- 1A scheduled prompt fires at the time you set.
- 2It runs the permitted task on your machine: build, cleanup, or a code pull.
- 3It reports back and can send a desktop notification when done.
Requires your machine to be powered on with the server running when the schedule fires.
Understand a new codebase fast
You just cloned a repo and need the lay of the land.
- 1It maps the project with a whole-tree path and content search.
- 2It reads the entry points and key config files.
- 3It reviews recent git history to see what changed lately.
- 4It gives you a plain-language tour: structure, stack, and where to start.
Review a change before you merge
A branch is ready and you want a second pair of eyes.
- 1It reads the
git diffand the files it touches. - 2It runs your read-only checks, such as typecheck or tests, if they are in your allowlist.
- 3It flags risky changes, missing tests, or unclear naming.
- 4It summarizes what the change does and what to double-check.
Writing actions like committing stay off by default; you approve them explicitly.
Ask questions about a local database
You need an answer that lives in a SQLite file.
- 1It reads the database schema to understand the tables.
- 2It runs read-only queries to answer your question.
- 3It explains the result in plain language.
Smoke-test a local API
You want to know if your dev server behaves.
- 1It checks the dev server and the port it runs on.
- 2It calls your local endpoints with the SSRF-protected fetcher.
- 3It reads the responses and reports status, shape, and errors.
Reproduce and capture a UI bug
A bug only shows up in the browser with your logged-in session.
- 1It launches a Chrome profile clone that keeps your login.
- 2It navigates to the exact screen and repeats the steps.
- 3It captures screenshots and reads the console for errors.
- 4It writes up clean reproduction steps.
Draft release notes from git history
A release is coming and the changelog is empty.
- 1It reads recent
git logand diffs. - 2It groups changes into added, changed, and fixed.
- 3It drafts human-readable notes and copies them to your clipboard.
Tidy a cluttered folder
Downloads or a temp folder has gotten out of hand.
- 1It searches for large or old files and lists what it finds.
- 2It groups them so you can decide what to keep.
- 3With your approval, it removes the ones you confirm.
Deleting needs a write command you add to the allowlist; nothing is removed without your say-so.
