Build an Artiforge AI Development Toolkit MCP Server for Claude Desktop in 2026

Artiforge has emerged as one of the most comprehensive AI development toolkits in the MCP ecosystem. Unlike single-purpose MCP servers, Artiforge bundles code generation, automated testing, intelligent refactoring, and documentation synthesis into one unified toolkit.

Here is the production FastMCP Python server that exposes all 12 Artiforge tools to Claude Desktop.
