JSX — 151 Operations for AI Agents
This page is the canonical reference an AI coding agent uses to refactor, query, and analyze JSX code through the act MCP server. 151 operations available: 77 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.

extract-custom-hook |
Extract hook logic into a custom hook function |
extract-jsx-element |
Extract JSX element selection into a new component |
extract-prop |
Extract inline value to a named prop |
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-aria-attributes |
Generate ARIA accessibility attributes for JSX element |
generate-component-test |
Generate a component test scaffold |
generate-context-provider |
Generate a Context and Provider component |
generate-custom-hook |
Generate a custom hook scaffold |
generate-error-boundary |
Generate an error boundary class component |
generate-function-component |
Generate a new function component scaffold |
generate-hoc |
Generate higher-order component wrapper |
generate-props-type |
Generate JSDoc props type definition |
generate-use-fetch-hook |
Generate data-fetching hook with loading and error states |
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)] |
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_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-comment |
Remove comment from code |
remove-fragment |
Remove Fragment wrapper, keeping its children |
remove-use-memo |
Remove useMemo wrapper and keep the computed expression |
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-prop |
Rename a prop throughout the component |
split-component |
Extract JSX element into a new component |
spread-props |
Replace explicit props with spread syntax |
unspread-props |
Replace spread props with explicit props |
use-destructuring |
Use destructuring for object properties |
use-logical-assignment |
Use logical assignment operators (&&=, ||=, ??=) |
use-object-shorthand |
Use ES6 object property shorthand |
use-private-fields |
Convert to private class fields (#field) |
use-rest-parameters |
Convert arguments to rest parameters |
use-spread-operator |
Convert Object.assign to spread operator |
use-template-literals |
Convert string concat to template literals |
use-top-level-await |
Convert IIFE async to top-level await |
wrap-in-element |
Wrap selected JSX in a parent element |
wrap-in-fragment |
Wrap JSX elements in a React Fragment |
