One Server, Every Editor
IDE Integrations
SourcePrep speaks the Model Context Protocol. Any editor or agent that speaks MCP connects to the same daemon with the same config — no per-editor forks, no bespoke plugins.
One Server, Every Editor
Run prep serve once. Every MCP-aware agent in your workflow — CLI or IDE — reaches the same daemon and gets the same structural intelligence. No per-editor plugins, no vendor lock-in, no duplicated indexes.
Single Command
One daemon serves every connected agent simultaneously
MCP Standard
Works with any tool that implements the Model Context Protocol
No Lock-in
Switch tools freely — your index and context travel with you
Shared MCP config
"prep": {
"command": "prep",
"args": ["mcp"]
}This is the common core. Every editor nests it slightly differently (servers vs mcpServers vs context_servers) and stores it at a different path. SourcePrep auto-generates these files when it detects a supported client.
CLI Agents
Terminal-first coding agents see the biggest lift from structural context because they have no sidebar, no open tabs, no visible file tree to orient themselves. Claude Code is the primary target — the tool dispatch, auto-approve hints, and AGENTS.md generation are all shaped around it — but the MCP server works the same for Codex, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, and other MCP-aware CLIs. (Codex is also a first-class AGENTS.md consumer, so the same generated file unlocks it.)
Agentic IDEs
The big agentic editors all speak MCP natively — Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, and VS Code (via GitHub Copilot), plus Zed. The setup story is the same everywhere: drop the SourcePrep MCP block into the editor's config, restart, done. What differs is the editor itself, not the integration. MCP-aware extensions inside VS Code (Cline, Roo, CodeGPT) all work too — they read the same daemon.
Client-Aware Delivery
The setup is uniform, but the output isn't. SourcePrep reads the MCP clientInfo handshake and tunes the response per client — format density, context budget, and which hints to attach. Agents get shaped output without any per-editor configuration.
