What is the Agentsmith MCP server?

Auto-generate AGENTS.md from your codebase. That is what the agentsmith mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

Stop writing AGENTS.md by hand. Run agentsmith and it scans your codebase to generate a comprehensive context file that AI coding tools read automatically.

AGENTS.md is an open standard for giving AI coding assistants context about your project. It's adopted by 60,000+ projects and supported by:

  • ❌ AI generates bg-blue-500 instead of your bg-primary token
  • ❌ AI creates a new Button when you already have one with 9 variants
  • ❌ AI ignores your patterns and conventions
  • ✅ AI knows your components and uses them
  • ✅ AI follows your design tokens
  • ✅ AI matches your patterns

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @jpoindexter/agent-smith on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 1 tool. What each one is for:

  • Request — contactSchema {

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Agentsmith's toolset — Request — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by jpoindexter; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Agentsmith to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 1 tool (Request) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Agentsmith directly.
