Local-first code intelligence for AI agents. Plan before edit. Verify after edit.
Local-first code intelligence for AI agents. Plan before edit. Verify after edit. That is what the open mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
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.
Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
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. It is maintained by shivyadav.us; 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.
