About Agent Rules Kit

This MCP server integrates with Agent Rules Kit, a powerful CLI tool that generates Cursor rules (.mdc files) for multiple technology stacks and MCP tools integration. Agent Rules Kit helps AI agents better understand project structure, patterns, and best practices across different frameworks.

How It Works

This MCP server acts as a bridge between AI applications and Agent Rules Kit:

1. Project Analysis: AI agents can use get_project_info to understand the current project's technology stack
2. Automated Installation: The install_rules tool automatically installs the most appropriate Cursor rules
3. Interactive Setup: The setup_project_rules prompt provides a complete automated workflow
4. Resource Access: Built-in documentation and guides help agents understand available options

Integration with AI Agents

AI agents can use this MCP server to:

• 🤖 Automatically detect project technology stacks
• ⚡ Install appropriate rules without manual intervention
• 📖 Access documentation about supported frameworks and tools
• 🔄 Update rules when project requirements change
• 🎯 Follow best practices for each technology stack

Key capabilities of Agent Rules Kit:

• 🎯 Multi-Stack Support: 15+ frameworks including Laravel, Next.js, React, Angular, Vue, and more
• 🏗️ Architecture-Aware: Specialized rules for different architectural patterns (MVC, DDD, Hexagonal, etc.)
• 🔧 MCP Tools Integration: Multi-select support for popular MCP tools (PAMPA, GitHub, Memory, Filesystem, Git)
• 📦 Version Detection: Automatic framework version detection with version-specific optimizations

Features

• 🛠️ Multiple Tools: Automatic project analysis and rule installation
• 📋 Resources: Built-in documentation and guides accessible via MCP
• 🎯 Prompts: Automated templates for project configuration
• 🔍 Intelligent Detection: Automatically recognizes 15+ technology stacks
• 🚀 Two execution modes:
  • STDIO: For direct integration with MCP clients
  • HTTP: For remote connections via HTTP/REST

Installation

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Compile TypeScript
npm run build

Usage

STDIO Mode (Recommended for local integration)

# Development with watch mode
npm run dev:stdio

# Production
npm start

HTTP Mode (For remote connections)

# Development
npm run dev:http

# Production
npm run start:http

The HTTP server will be available at http://localhost:3001 by default.

Available Tools

start_agent_rules_kit

Starts the Agent Rules Kit system by executing the corresponding terminal command.

Optional parameters:

• config_path (string): Path to configuration file
• port (number): Port to run the service (default 3000)
• mode (string): Execution mode - "dev" or "prod"

get_project_info

Analyzes the current project to automatically detect the technology stack.

Optional parameters:

• project_path (string): Path to the project to analyze (default: current directory)

Supported stacks:

• Frontend: React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Astro
• Backend: Node.js, NestJS, Laravel, Spring Boot, Django, FastAPI
• Mobile: React Native
• Others: Go, Java, Python, PHP

install_rules

Automatically installs appropriate Cursor rules based on the detected stack.

Optional parameters:

• stack (string): Specific stack to install (auto-detected if not specified)
• project_path (string): Project path (default: current directory)
• force (boolean): Force installation even if rules already exist

Example automated flow:

{
	"name": "install_rules",
	"arguments": {
		"project_path": "/path/to/project",
		"force": true
	}
}

Available Resources

• agent-rules-kit://documentation: Complete project documentation
• agent-rules-kit://stacks: Detailed list of supported technology stacks
• agent-rules-kit://usage-guide: Usage guide for AI agents

Available Prompts

setup_project_rules

Automated prompt that configures Cursor rules for any project automatically.

Parameters:

• project_path (optional): Project path
• force_reinstall (optional): Force reinstallation

MCP Client Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add to Claude Desktop configuration (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
	"mcpServers": {
		"agent-rules-kit": {
			"command": "node",
			"args": ["/path/to/agent-rules-kit-mcp/dist/index.js"]
		}
	}
}

HTTP Connection

For HTTP connections, the following endpoints are available:

• GET /health - Server status
• GET /info - Server information
• GET /tools - List of available tools
• POST /tools/call - Execute a tool

Example HTTP call:

curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/tools/call \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "install_rules",
    "arguments": {
      "project_path": "/path/to/project",
      "force": true
    }
  }'

Development

# Clean compiled files
npm run clean

# Compile
npm run build

# Watch mode for development
npm run dev

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18.0.0
• The agent-rules-kit command must be available in the system PATH
