Overview

What is Layered Code?

Layered Code is an MCP server that turns natural language conversations with AI assistants like Claude Desktop into web development workflows. It integrates with your local project files, allowing the AI to create, edit, and manage code, then commit and deploy via git—all without memorizing complex commands.

How to use Layered Code?

Install via Homebrew (macOS/Linux), install script, or pre-built binaries. Configure the MCP server in Claude Desktop’s claude_desktop_config.json with the command pointing to the layered-code binary and args: ["mcp_server"]. Optionally set the LAYERED_APPS_DIRECTORY environment variable for a custom apps folder. Then start a conversation in Claude Desktop, describing your project in natural language.
