Common questions

Is Ankra safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

Ankra plugin for Cursor and Claude Code

The Ankra plugin for Cursor and Claude Code. It connects the agent to the hosted Ankra MCP server and adds Ankra's agent skills and slash commands for building, shipping and operating Kubernetes through Ankra.

For Claude Code, run this in a terminal:

claude plugin install ankra --marketplace ankraio/cursor-plugin

Using the plugin: see plugins/ankra/README.md.

Updating the skills and commands

The skills and commands are maintained in ankraio/ankra-cli (internal/skills) and also ship through ankra skills install. Change them there, cut a CLI release, then regenerate this plugin from that release:

brew upgrade ankra            # the installed CLI must match the release

scripts/sync-from-cli.sh # defaults to the installed CLI's version node scripts/validate-template.mjs

Bump version in plugins/ankra/.cursor-plugin/plugin.json and plugins/ankra/.claude-plugin/plugin.json when the plugin content changes. The two stay equal; CI checks it. Claude Code users stay on a version until it changes, so a content change without a bump never reaches them.

This also runs on its own: the Sync from ankra-cli release workflow (.github/workflows/sync-from-cli.yml) checks ankra-cli's latest stable release every morning. When it is newer than plugins/ankra/SOURCE, scripts/sync-latest-release.sh downloads that release's binary, verifies its checksum, regenerates the skills and commands, bumps the minor version and validates, and the workflow opens (or updates) a pull request from sync/ankra-cli-release. It uses only the repository's GITHUB_TOKEN. Run it by hand from the Actions tab, optionally with a tag or as a dry_run. The same script works locally without an installed ankra:

scripts/sync-latest-release.sh            # latest stable release

scripts/sync-latest-release.sh v0.30.0 # a specific release

Testing locally

Claude Code:

claude plugin validate --strict plugins/ankra

claude plugin validate . claude --plugin-dir plugins/ankra

Cursor:

mkdir -p ~/.cursor/plugins/local

cp -R plugins/ankra ~/.cursor/plugins/local/ankra-marketplace

Reload Cursor (Developer: Reload Window) and check that the rule, skills, commands and the ankra MCP server appear. If ankra skills install already wrote a local ankra plugin, move it aside while testing so the two do not overlap.
