scaffold_controller

MCP tool from Codeigniter MCP by X-Gunner

Generates standalone Controller with strict validation; enforces zero SQL in controllers.

How to use it

Project documentation lists scaffold_controller for the Codeigniter MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
