Vibe Coding

Vibe coding is a new way of programming where you describe what you want in plain language and AI writes the code for you. Nette is ideal for this style of development – strict dependency injection, strong typing, and clear conventions allow AI to generate precise, working code.

What is Vibe Coding?

“The hottest new programming language is English.”

That's the core idea behind vibe coding – instead of writing every line yourself, you describe your intent and let AI handle the implementation. Want a presenter for managing products? Just say so. Need a form with validation? Describe the fields and rules.

But here's the important part: AI doesn't replace programmers. It's a powerful assistant that accelerates routine work:

  • Generate boilerplate code (presenters, forms, entities) in seconds
  • Understand existing code and explain how it works
  • Find bugs and suggest fixes
  • Write tests based on your implementation

The catch? AI doesn't truly know your application. It sees only what you show it and guesses the rest based on patterns it learned during training. That's where Nette AI tools come in.

Why Nette is Perfect for AI

Not all frameworks work equally well with AI. Nette has properties that make it exceptionally suited for AI-assisted development:

Strict Dependency Injection

In Nette, all services are registered in the DI container. AI can inspect exactly what services exist and how they're configured – no guessing required.

Strong Typing

Type hints on methods and properties mean AI generates code that actually works. Fewer runtime errors, less debugging.

Clear Conventions

Presenters, components, templates – everything has its place. AI can follow these patterns and produce code that looks like it was written by an experienced Nette developer.

The key principle:

.“Without MCP, AI guesses. With MCP, AI knows.”

How It Works

The magic happens through MCP (Model Context Protocol) – an open standard for connecting AI assistants to external data sources. Instead of guessing based on training data, AI can query your actual application state.

Here's the flow:

  1. You describe what you want: “Create an entity for the product table”
  2. AI tool (Claude, Cursor, etc.) needs to know your database schema
  3. MCP Inspector queries your application and returns the actual schema
  4. AI generates code that matches your real database

No hallucinations. No guessing. Just accurate code.

Nette AI Tools

MCP Inspector

The core of Nette's AI integration. MCP Inspector is an MCP server that gives any compatible AI tool real-time access to your application:

What AI Can See Examples
DI Container Services, parameters, extensions
Database Tables, columns, relationships
Router Routes, URL matching, generation
Tracy Exceptions, warnings, logs

MCP Inspector works with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code with Continue, and any other tool that supports the MCP protocol.

Claude Code Plugin

For users of Claude Code, there's an additional plugin that gives Claude deep knowledge of Nette conventions. It includes 10 specialized “skills” that activate automatically:

Skill What It Covers
nette-architecture Presenters, modules, directory structure
nette-database Database Explorer, entities, queries
nette-forms Controls, validation, rendering
latte-templates Syntax, filters, security
+ 6 more… See complete list

The plugin also automatically validates Latte templates and NEON files after every edit.

Other AI Tools

MCP Inspector works with any MCP-compatible tool. Setup guides for additional tools are coming soon:

  • Cursor – Popular AI-first code editor
  • VS Code + Continue – Open-source AI coding assistant
  • Gemini CLI – Google's command-line AI tool
