CLI (aligndottech) MCP Server

Your AI agents know the code. They don't know the company. The decisions behind the code live in commits, tickets, chat and meetings. Months later nobody can tell what still stands, what conflicts, or why. Align pulls them into one graph your agents check before they build. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install CLI (aligndottech)

Claude Code

claude mcp add aligndottech-align-cli -- npx -y @aligndottech/cli

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aligndottech-align-cli": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@aligndottech/cli"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
