agent-config — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Delivers governed skills, rules, and personas through a read-only MCP interface. It helps AI agents follow engineering standards without dumping unneeded context.
claude mcp add agent-config -- npx -y @event4u/agent-configWhat agent-config does
The server exposes an organized catalog of development standards: 301 skills, 211 commands, 122 rules, and 29 personas. Instead of flooding LLM context with hundreds of artifacts, a built-in router pulls only relevant guidelines matching current intent. It compiles configs across 20 host agents, including Claude Code and Cursor.
Pre-packaged subagents handle targeted tasks. For instance, production-validator inspects code branches in read-only mode to find unresolved mocks before shipping.
Core execution avoids background daemons and external state databases. Embedded engines terminate immediately after completing the command.
What it helps with
- Restrict agent context to task-relevant skills
- Scan code branches for leftover mocks before shipping
- Apply governed development rules across multiple coding assistants
- Run standardized planning and verification workflows via
/work
Example prompts for the agent
- /work "set up basic API authentication"
- @production-validator check this branch is actually done
- Find the relevant skill in agent-config to refactor the database schema

Questions about agent-config
How do I install agent-config in Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add agent-config -- npx -y @event4u/agent-config in your terminal. This executes the package via npx directly without manual builds.
What does agent-config do?
It serves governed skills, commands, rules, and subagents to coding assistants. An internal capability router loads guidance based on current intent rather than dumping entire folders.
Does agent-config require an always-on background daemon?
No, the server operates without persistent background daemons or external databases. Any invoked engine stops right after completing its assigned task.
