+
+structkit now integrates with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You can scaffold entire project structures just by describing what you want to Claude. No memorizing CLI flags, no reading docs — just describe the project and it appears.

+
+## What is MCP?
+
+The [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) (MCP) is an open standard from Anthropic that lets AI assistants like Claude call external tools. Instead of typing commands, you describe what you want and Claude handles the tooling.
+
+structkit ships with MCP support out of the box.
+
+## Setup
+
+Install structkit:
+
+```bash
+pip install structkit
+```
+
+Add it to your Claude MCP config (`~/.claude/mcp.json` or your Claude Desktop config):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "structkit": {
+      "command": "structkit",
+      "args": ["mcp"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Restart Claude and structkit tools are now available.
+
+## Example: Scaffold a Python Service
+
+Instead of:
+
+```bash
+structkit generate \
+  --config https://github.com/myorg/templates/python-service.yaml \
+  --var service_name=auth-service \
+  --var port=8080 \
+  --var database=postgres
+```
+
+You say to Claude:
+
+> "Create a new Python FastAPI service called auth-service, port 8080, PostgreSQL database, with Docker support"
+
+Claude calls structkit, which generates the full project structure. You see the result appear in your filesystem.
+
+## Example: Terraform Module
+
+> "Scaffold a Terraform module for an AWS S3 bucket with versioning and encryption enabled"
+
+Result:
+
+```
+aws-s3-bucket/
+├── main.tf       (with versioning + encryption resources)
+├── variables.tf  (name, bucket_name, tags)
+├── outputs.tf    (bucket_arn, bucket_id)
+├── README.md     (auto-generated docs)
+└── .github/workflows/terraform.yml
+```
+
+## What structkit Actually Does
+
+structkit is not an AI tool — it is a YAML-first scaffolding engine. MCP is just the interface. Under the hood:
+
+1. You describe what you want
+2. Claude selects or constructs the right structkit template
+3. structkit generates files deterministically from that template
+4. You get real, editable code — not AI-hallucinated code
+
+This matters because your scaffolded project is a structkit template output, not a one-shot AI generation. It is **reproducible, auditable, and follows your organization's standards**.
+
+## The Platform Engineering Use Case
+
+For platform teams, this is the real unlock:
+
+1. Platform team maintains structkit templates (Python service, Go service, Terraform module, etc.)
+2. Product teams use Claude + MCP to scaffold new projects
+3. Every project starts from an approved, standardized template
+4. No copy-paste drift, no "I forgot to add the security scanning step"
+
+Developers get natural-language UX. Platform teams get compliance.
+
+## Try It
+
+```bash
+pip install structkit
+structkit mcp  # start the MCP server
+```
