description: Boot cladding as an MCP server over stdio. Use only when the user wants to expose cladding's tools, resources, and persona prompts to a separate MCP client. Most users don't run this directly — the plugin's .mcp.json launches it automatically. Activate only when the connected project contains spec.yaml or the user explicitly names Cladding; ignore ordinary requests in uninitialized projects.

Cladding serve

Run `clad serve` from the project root. Boots an MCP server over stdio that exposes:

  • **Tools**: the full development surface (feature/graph/context queries, checks, gate, changelog) plus the natural-language onboarding flow — `clad_prepare_init` / `clad_stage_init` / `clad_init` and the clarify pair. Before `spec.yaml` exists only the three onboarding bootstrap tools are exposed.
  • **Resources**: `cladding://spec`, `cladding://events`, `cladding://audit`.
  • **Prompts**: 5 personas (orchestrator, planner, reviewer, observability, developer).
  • **Live audit notifications**: `notifications/resources/updated` fires for `cladding://audit` whenever a new evidence entry lands — a subscribed client can live-tail the audit log without polling.

Registers itself in cladding's sampling context so the host adapters (`generic-mcp`, `claude-code`) route LLM dispatch through `McpSamplingTransport` instead of the Mock fallback.

clad serve --cwd /path/to/project

**Most users don't run this directly.** Cladding's plugin manifest (`.mcp.json`) launches `clad serve` automatically when the plugin is enabled. Invoke this skill only for debugging the MCP server in isolation.

For an organization to trust AI with its code, three things must hold — trust, traceability, and stability at scale. cladding wraps your AI coding agent: your intent goes in before it writes, and the result is verified against your spec after, so those three are earned, not assumed. First L4 implementation of the Ironclad standard.

Questions about serve.

Which coding agents can use serve?
serve installs in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf with the skills CLI, using each agent's flag shown on this page. Flowy's auto-invocation, which fires a skill when your prompt matches, runs in Claude Code only.
