Dext is a full-stack framework for Delphi — dependency injection, ORM, web pipeline, async tasks, and testing in one native ecosystem, with feature parity aimed at ASP.NET Core patterns. Its relevance to Claude users: it ships a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so existing Delphi business logic can be exposed as tools that AI agents like Claude consume. It is not a Claude Code skill; it installs into the Delphi IDE.
