Common questions about connecting and running Refactoring.
What refactorings are included in this MCP server?
The server exposes Martin Fowler's refactoring catalog with 71+ documented refactoring patterns. These cover common code improvement techniques like Extract Method, Rename Variable, and Replace Temp with Query.
How do I install and run the mcp-refactoring server?
Install via uvx with the command: uvx mcp-refactoring@0.1.2. The server uses stdio transport, so it communicates with your MCP client through standard input/output streams.
Can I use this server to get refactoring suggestions for my code?
Yes. Connect this MCP server to an LLM-powered chat or IDE integration, then ask for refactoring recommendations. The server provides access to Fowler's patterns, which the LLM can match against your code context.
Is there authentication or API key setup required?
No authentication is mentioned in the registry metadata. The server exposes a local refactoring catalog, so setup is minimal—just install and run via uvx.
How does this compare to other refactoring tools?
This server makes Fowler's refactoring catalog available to LLMs and AI assistants, enabling intelligent refactoring suggestions. Unlike IDE-only refactoring tools, it integrates with any MCP-compatible client for broader context-aware recommendations.
MCP Playground runs 10,000+ hosted MCP servers — GitHub, Linear, Notion, Stripe, Sentry and more — across Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek and 60+ AI models. Compare model answers side-by-side, save agent presets, share runs. Zero install.
