WeChat Mini Program Support Notes

The current version of CloudBase MCP does not have a separate miniprogram plugin. The Mini Program-related capabilities in the repository are mainly reflected in two parts:

  • downloadTemplate(template="miniprogram"): Download WeChat Mini Program + CloudBase project template
  • miniprogram-development Skill: Provides AI with guidance on Mini Program development, debugging, preview, testing, and publishing workflows

This means: Mini Program support still exists, but it is no longer exposed as an MCP plugin named miniprogram.

1. Initialize Project​

If you want to create a WeChat Mini Program project from scratch, prioritize using downloadTemplate to download the Mini Program template, rather than relying on a plugin named miniprogram.

2. Let AI Develop Mini Programs According to Specifications​

If you want AI to continue with page development, debugging, preview, deployment, and other workflows, it is recommended to use the WeChat Mini Program Skill:

3. Enable MCP Plugins According to Business Needs​

Mini Program projects commonly use the following MCP plugins:

  • env: Environment login, environment queries
  • database: Database and data models
  • functions: Cloud Function capabilities
  • storage: Cloud Storage file management
  • permissions: Permissions and security rules

If the project also involves log troubleshooting, remote asset downloads, or CloudBase Run, you can enable as needed:

  • logs
  • download
  • cloudrun
  • gateway

Why It's No Longer Called "Mini Program Plugin"​

Because in the current implementation:

  • mcp/src/server.ts does not register miniprogram as an available plugin
  • There is no MCP tool implementation file for miniprogram under mcp/src/tools/

Historical documentation described it as a separate plugin, which is no longer accurate. When referring to WeChat Mini Program capabilities in the future, prioritize using the following terms:

  • Mini Program template support
  • Mini Program development Skill
  • WeChat Mini Program development workflow support

Rather than continuing to write it as a miniprogram plugin.
