Tilt MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with Tilt to provide programmatic access to Tilt resources and logs through LLM applications.
Why use a Tilt MCP server?
Imagine prompting like this:
Please work on {some LLM request} and then check tilt MCP for "backend-api" resource logs for compile status. Make sure that "backend-tests" resource is successful with your changes.
The key insight is you no longer need to tell your LLM how to build and deploy your code. Instead, you can simply ask it to what to build and deploy.
Tilt is a powerful tool for working with Docker/Kubernetes workloads. With the Tilt MCP server, you can integrate Tilt's features directly into your workflow using Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude Code / Codex / Gemini / VS Code Copilot / etc.
This saves significant LLM tokens (and so ⏱️+💰), both by avoiding to give extra context to your LLM on how to build/deploy, and also by avoiding LLMs actually doing the build/deploy. All the LLM needs to know is to make code changes then call the tilt MCP server to get real-time feedback.
