AGENTS.md Generator MCP Server

Analyzes codebases with tree-sitter and generates AGENTS.md files for AI coding agents. Its 3 documented tools cluster into generate, scan, read & search. 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 Python.

01 · Install AGENTS.md Generator

Claude Code

claude mcp add nushey-agents-md-generator -- uvx agents-md-generator

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nushey-agents-md-generator": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "agents-md-generator"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package agents-md-generator - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.nushey is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What AGENTS.md Generator can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

An agent gets 3 documented tools across generate, scan, read & search, including generate_agents_md, scan_codebase, read_payload_chunk.

The 3 tools it gives your agent

Extracted from the project's README - what AGENTS.md Generator lets an agent do.

generate_agents_md: - Main entry point. Runs the pipeline internally, embeds writing rules into the payload, and returns chunked read instructions. Use this to create or update AGENT
scan_codebase: - Standalone context tool. Analyzes the codebase and returns a pure data payload with no AGENTS.md mandate. Use this when you need architectural context for any o
read_payload_chunk: - Streams the payload written by either tool in chunks until has_more is false.
