Overview

MCPRules is a powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to manage and serve programming guidelines and rules, promoting consistent coding standards across various projects.

To use MCPRules, clone the repository from GitHub, install the necessary dependencies, build the server, and configure the environment variables. You can then access the rules through various tools integrated with the server.

  • Rule Management: Access and filter rules by categories, supporting both local and GitHub-hosted rules. - Flexible Storage: Integration with local file systems and GitHub, allowing markdown-based rule definitions. - Category Organization: Supports various categories related to programming principles and specific languages.
  1. Enforcing coding standards across teams in software development.
  2. Managing programming guidelines in collaborative projects.
  3. Tailoring coding standards by project needs or programming languages.
