Astro — 104 Operations for AI Agents

This page is the canonical reference an AI coding agent uses to refactor, query, and analyze Astro code through the act MCP server. 104 operations available: 30 refactor, 18 query, 42 analysis, 14 verification. Each operation is callable from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, or any MCP-compatible agent host. Click any operation for a stable anchor link suitable for citation.

Refactor

Operation Description
consolidate-imports Merge multiple imports from the same module into a single import statement
convert-conditional-to-shorthand Convert verbose conditional rendering to shorthand && expression
convert-default-to-named-export Convert default export to named export for a component
convert-html-entity-to-unicode Replace HTML entities with their Unicode character equivalents
convert-template-string-to-html Convert a template string variable to inline HTML markup
extract-component-from-template Extract a portion of the template into a new Astro component
extract-computed-property Extract an inline expression into a named frontmatter variable
extract-constant Extract a literal value into a named constant in the frontmatter
extract-helper-function Extract inline logic into a named helper function in the frontmatter
extract_function Extract a code selection into a new function — automatically infers parameters, return types, and inserts the call site. Use instead of manually cutting/pasting code. Works without LSP; LSP improves type inference. Params: file (string), new_name (string), start_line (u32), start_column (u32), end_line (u32), end_column (u32) [, preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
extract_variable Extract an expression into a named variable — inserts the declaration and replaces the expression with the variable name. Works without LSP. Params: file (string), new_name (string), start_line (u32), start_column (u32), end_line (u32), end_column (u32) [, preview (bool)]
generate-component-template Generate a minimal Astro component scaffold
generate-component-with-props Generate an Astro component scaffold with typed props
generate-script-utility-file Generate a TypeScript utility file for use in Astro frontmatter
generate-test-file Generate a test file scaffold for an Astro component
generate-typescript-interface-for-props Generate a TypeScript interface definition for component props
inline Inline a variable, function, or method — replace every usage with its definition body, then remove the original. The inverse of extract. Works without LSP (single-file); LSP enables cross-file inlining. Params: file (string), symbol (string) [, line (u32), preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
inline-component Inline a component's template directly into the parent component
inline-component-constant Replace a named constant reference with its literal value
insert_body Replace a function's implementation body with new code. AST-validated — rejects if the result has parse errors, so you can't accidentally break syntax. Use instead of manual text editing for function rewrites. Params: file (string), symbol (string), code (string) [, commit (bool)]
move-import-to-frontmatter Move an import statement into the Astro frontmatter block
move_symbol Move a function, class, or type to a different file and automatically update all imports across the codebase. Use instead of manually cut/paste + fixing imports. Works without LSP (single-file); LSP enables cross-file import updates. Params: file (string), symbol (string), destination (string) [, preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
recipe_run Run a codemod recipe: declarative match → transform → optional verify across modeled grammars. Preview lists matches; apply writes with optional E7 receipts and all-or-nothing rollback. Returns a per-site report.
remove-unused-import Remove an import statement that is no longer referenced
remove-unused-variable Remove a variable declaration that is never used
rename Rename a symbol and automatically update ALL references across the codebase. Safer and faster than find-and-replace — AST-aware, won't rename strings or comments. Works without LSP (single-file); LSP enables cross-file renames. Params: file (string), old_name (string), new_name (string) [, line (u32), column (u32), preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
rename-component Rename a component reference throughout the file
rename-css-class Rename a CSS class across template and style block
rename-prop Rename a component prop in the frontmatter and all template usages
rename-slot Rename a named slot throughout the component template
