Agent development tool-kit

The short version

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server targeted for agent development tools, providing scoped authorized operations in the root project directory. This package enables secure execution of operations such as running makefile commands, moving and deleting files, with future plans to include more tools for code editing. It serves as an excellent MCP server for VS-Code copilot and other AI-assisted development tools.

  • 🔒 Secure Operations: Execute operations within a scoped, authorized root directory
  • 🛠️ Makefile Command Execution: Run makefile commands securely within the project
  • 📁 File Operations: Move, Create, Rename and Delete files within the authorized directory
  • 🔄 Git Operations: Perform Git operations like status, add, commit, push, pull, and checkout
  • 🔌 MCP Integration: Turn any codebase into an MCP-compliant system
  • 🤖 AI-Assisted Development: Excellent integration with VS-Code copilot and other AI tools
