Silverstripe FAQs

Question 1

Can I customize the validation rules or add my own?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Silverstripe features a highly configurable plugin system. You can enable/disable built-in validators, provide additional custom namespace mappings, and even develop and integrate your own custom PHP-based validator plugins to enforce specific coding standards or handle unique project requirements.

Question 2

What kind of Silverstripe 6 migration issues does it detect?

Accepted Answer

Silverstripe detects a wide range of issues, including outdated Silverstripe 5 namespaces, old BuildTask patterns (e.g., `run(HTTPRequest $request)`), incorrect `FormField::Value()` usage, calls to methods removed in SS6, and deprecated `Config::inst()->get()` patterns. It also includes context-aware validators for Extension hook visibility and Elemental namespace changes.

Question 3

What is Silverstripe (the tool)?

Accepted Answer

Silverstripe is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to provide real-time validation feedback when AI assistants generate Silverstripe 6 PHP code. Its primary goal is to catch common migration issues from Silverstripe 5 to 6 before they enter your codebase, ensuring AI-generated code adheres to modern SS6 standards.

Question 4

How does Silverstripe help with AI-generated code?

Accepted Answer

It validates AI-generated PHP code in real-time. If an AI assistant produces outdated or incorrect Silverstripe 6 patterns, Silverstripe immediately identifies these issues using AST-based analysis, allowing the AI to self-correct and generate compliant code, saving development time and preventing errors.

Question 5

How do I integrate Silverstripe with my AI coding assistant?

Accepted Answer

After installing Silverstripe, you integrate it by adding it as an MCP server to your AI client (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor). You then configure your AI agent's project instructions to explicitly use the `ss-validator` tool on all generated PHP code, ensuring it leverages the real-time validation feedback to produce accurate Silverstripe 6 code.
