+`newproject` asks for the description, the parts, the backend language, the frontend framework, how the frontend is served and the MCP servers for `.mcp.json`, then hands over to each template's own questions. Every prompt has a flag for non-interactive use:
 
 ```sh
-newproject ~/projects/my-thing --parts backend,frontend,caddy --backend python --frontend svelte --serve bun --defaults
+newproject ~/projects/my-thing --parts backend,frontend,caddy --backend python --frontend svelte --serve bun --mcp context7,svelte --defaults
 ```
 
 `other` as the backend or the frontend renders the `blank` template: the part's compose files, Makefile and `.env.example` with no code, for a stack that has no template of its own, next to any other part.
