Ground your AI in verified Webix code, not training data.
A streamable HTTP MCP server that gives your AI assistant a unified, searchable knowledge base of
Webix snippets, API reference, and SoftCreator Proto-UI extensions — all rewritten to use SC-prefixed
view names by default.
AI assistants hallucinate Webix code. This stops it.
Webix 6.4.6 is old enough that LLMs mix it up with newer versions, invent properties, and emit plain
view:"datatable" where SoftCreator codebases require view:"scdatatable".
The Webix MCP server replaces guesswork with lookups against a single, locally-built database.
⚙
Faithful code generation
View names emitted by the AI match what the SoftCreator runtime expects. No manual rename pass after every prompt.
📖
API-grounded answers
Method signatures, allowed values, and event names are answered from indexed documentation rather than guessed.
🔗
SC knowledge first-class
Looking up ui.datatable automatically surfaces scdatatable: its mixins, defaults, and custom methods.
How it works
A single index over three knowledge sources.
The build pipeline harvests, parses, and normalizes three independent sources into one SQLite database.
The runtime server exposes that database to any MCP-compatible client over streamable HTTP.

Evolution — four phases from proof of concept to production.
SoftCreator-first mapping
Snippets are rewritten before the AI sees them.
Every Webix snippet that uses a control with a SC wrapper is post-processed so that
view:"datatable" becomes view:"scdatatable", and so on. The mapping is
deterministic and applied only at well-known syntactic positions.

Mapping flow — applied once at build time; the runtime database holds the SC-shaped result.
Specialized SC controls — scwizard, codeeditor, bpmneditor,
sctimeline, erddesigner and others — remain in the catalog as first-class
extensions but are excluded from the autoreplace map. Webix views without a SC wrapper
(gantt, spreadsheet, kanban, pivot,
scheduler) pass through unchanged.
MCP surface
Eleven tools across three domains.
Every tool returns JSON with a source field of 'webix' or 'sc',
so the AI can correctly attribute every citation it produces.

The build pipeline and the runtime server are deployed independently. The original prototype is
preserved as a historical reference.
