What is the Open MCP Server?

Local-first code intelligence for AI agents. Plan before edit. Verify after edit.

The short version

Give Claude, Cursor, Codex, or any MCP-compatible coding agent an evidence layer before it edits your codebase, using local indexes and read-only MCP tools by default.

The MCP server is designed to be source-tree read-only unless write mode is explicitly enabled. Memory and compressed-context tools may write local .ok/ artifacts so their results can be recalled or expanded later.

More MCP options

Compare MCP servers by category, or browse hosted MCP servers if you prefer an endpoint over a local process.
