This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The server runs on a Windows machine with RAD Studio installed and gives an MCP client the full Delphi development cycle from any other platform. The agent locates a project, reads and safely edits code, builds via MSBuild, works with git, scaffolds and deploys via PAServer and adb. Semantic navigation runs on the official DelphiLSP, which backs some of the tools; the rest are the editor, build, file operations and deploy chain. It also offers remote run and desktop control for Linux, Android and Windows itself: the server takes a screenshot and clicks by coordinates. Access is scoped by a workspace jail and a token level, including a read-only mode.

Who it is for. For Delphi developers who need to work on RAD Studio projects from any machine through an agent.

Example request

Open the project on the server, build the release configuration via MSBuild and show the compiler errors

Limitations

The server machine must keep its own licensed RAD Studio at runtime; nothing from Embarcadero is redistributed. The project is beta: the authors warn about rough edges and breaking changes between minor versions. In remote HTTP mode access is protected by a token; control of the operator's own desktop is off by default and enabled by a separate flag. MIT licensed.

How to disable. Remove the delphi server from the MCP client configuration. If it is installed as a Windows service, remove it with DelphiLspMcp.exe -uninstall from an elevated prompt.

Transport

stdio, http

Authentication

API key

Security check

• The server edits files, runs MSBuild, git and deploy to real targets
• It can drive the desktop and run programs remotely
• The remote mode exposes the machine over the network behind a token

README in short

The README describes an MCP server that turns a RAD Studio install into a remote backend for agents. The idea is to centralize Delphi on one Windows machine and work from anywhere: understand the code, edit it safely, build, run, package, commit and deploy to a real target. Of 43 tools, 8 rely on the official DelphiLSP; the rest are the editor, MSBuild, git, files, scaffolder, deploy chain and desktop control. It runs as a Windows service, a terminal process or a tray app, over stdio and Streamable HTTP, with access scoped by a workspace jail and a token level.
