What is the Project MCP server?

Connect Project to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Cross-project knowledge graph for MCP — map features across mobile, backend, and admin codebases. The project mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

When working on a project with multiple codebases — for example, a React Native mobile app, a NestJS backend, and a Next.js admin panel — the AI agent has no awareness of how a single feature flows across all three. This leads to incomplete context, missed dependencies, and breaking changes that could have been caught earlier.

  • Multi-project awareness — — register any number of projects (mobile, backend, admin, etc.)
  • Feature workflow mapping — — define features as ordered steps across all projects
  • Auto-scanning — — discover NestJS endpoints, Next.js pages, and React Native screens automatically
  • Full-text search — — search across features, endpoints, files, and screens
  • Cross-reference lookup — — given a file path, find which features reference it
  • Rich context — — retrieve all endpoints, screens, and files for a feature at a specific workflow step

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Validation — The Validation tool exposed by this server
  • Persistence — The Persistence tool exposed by this server

Credentials and setup notes

  • Node.js >= 18 - npm >= 9 (or pnpm / yarn equivalent) - An MCP-compatible client (e.g., VS Code with Cline, any AI-powered IDE) ---

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at project-knowledge-mcp 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.

Where it fits

This sits in the knowledge and memory group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Project's toolset — Validation, Persistence — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by batook22; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Project's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • 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 to install the Project MCP server

Then add to your MCP settings:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "project-knowledge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "project-knowledge-mcp",
        "--knowledge-file", "C:\\projects\\project-knowledge.json"
      ],
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.

Configuration

  • Node.js >= 18 - npm >= 9 (or pnpm / yarn equivalent) - An MCP-compatible client (e.g., VS Code with Cline, any AI-powered IDE) ---

Example prompts to try

  • Use Project to Validation.
  • Use Project to Persistence.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Project to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 2 tools (Validation, Persistence) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Project directly.
