OrchestKit

by yonatangross · yonatangross/orchestkit

One install gets you 107 skills, 37 specialist agents, and 188 hooks — production patterns baked in.

OrchestKit is a unified plugin bundle: RAG patterns, FastAPI, React 19, testing, security, database design, plus agents (backend architect, frontend dev, security auditor) and hooks (pre-commit, git protection). Designed so you stop re-explaining your stack.

    "orchestkit": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/yonatangross/orchestkit"
      ],

}

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Restart after saving.

  }
}

Cursor uses the same mcpServers schema as Claude Desktop. Project config wins over global.

  "mcpServers": {
    "orchestkit": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [

      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Click the MCP Servers icon in the Cline sidebar, then "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "orchestkit": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [

      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Same shape as Claude Desktop. Restart Windsurf to pick up changes.

~/.continue/config.json
{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "orchestkit",
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/yonatangross/orchestkit"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue uses an array of server objects rather than a map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json
{
  "context_servers": {
    "orchestkit": {
      "command": {
        "path": "git",
        "args": [
          "clone",
          "https://github.com/yonatangross/orchestkit"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to context_servers. Zed hot-reloads on save.

claude mcp add orchestkit -- git clone https://github.com/yonatangross/orchestkit

One-liner. Verify with claude mcp list. Remove with claude mcp remove.
