Installation

npm install -g mcp-agent-autonomy

Configuration

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agent-autonomy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "[email protected]"],
      "env": {
        "WORKING_DIRECTORY": "/path/to/your/project"
      }
    }
  }
}

Workflow Definition

Create .cursor/workflows.json in your project root:

{
  "ai-start": {
    "description": "Start development server",
    "commands": [
      "git status",
      "php -S localhost:8000 -t . router.php > logs/server.log 2>&1 &",
      "sleep 2",
      "curl -s http://localhost:8000 && echo '✅ Server running'"
    ],
    "auto_approve": true,
    "working_directory": "/path/to/project",
    "timeout": 30000,
    "on_error": "stop"
  }
}

→ AI uses execute_workflow({ workflow_name: "ai-start" })
→ Commands run autonomously without approval
