What is the Review MCP server?

Connect Review to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Review Toolkit MCP. The review mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) service to help AI agents manage and track code review sessions.

  • Start new review sessions or resume existing ones
  • Track files that need review
  • Track review status for each file
  • Store AI agent reviews for each file
  • Generate review reports including agent reviews
  • Token counting to manage context limits (includes file content and agent reviews)

Available tools

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

  • Windows — The Windows tool exposed by this server

Installation

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

Where it fits

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

This entry was verified against Review'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.
