Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

An MCP server middleware to transfer global rules to coding agents

Catalog onlyCatalog onlySTDIO

Overview

ai-rules-mcp is a middleware server designed to facilitate the transfer of global rules to coding agents, enhancing their ability to operate under a unified set of guidelines.

To use ai-rules-mcp, set up the middleware on your server and configure it to communicate with your coding agents. You can then define and manage global rules that the agents will follow.

Middleware architecture for seamless integration with coding agents - Ability to define and manage global rules - Enhances consistency and efficiency in coding agent operations

Standardizing coding practices across multiple agents
Implementing global security protocols for coding agents
Facilitating communication and rule enforcement among distributed coding agents

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-rules-mcp-rontrace": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-ai-rules-mcp-rontrace"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-rules-mcp-rontrace": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-ai-rules-mcp-rontrace"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-rules-mcp-rontrace": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-ai-rules-mcp-rontrace"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "ai-rules-mcp-rontrace": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-ai-rules-mcp-rontrace"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-rules-mcp-rontrace": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-ai-rules-mcp-rontrace"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-rules-mcp-rontrace": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-ai-rules-mcp-rontrace"
      ]
    }
  }
}
