Architecture Pattern MCP

An MCP server that provides architecture design expertise to AI coding agents. It analyzes requirements and domains, selects from 128 built-in patterns, and generates concrete architecture designs including components, relationships, API contracts, data models, and event contracts, while evaluating them against quality attributes.

Package and access

Local package with source-attributed installation metadata. Koskamo does not execute packages during review.
