build_execute

MCP tool from Papi by getpapi

start a task (creates a branch and handoff) and complete it (records the build report).

How to use it

Project documentation lists build_execute for the Papi 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.
