Overview
Description from the maker (original English)
Your team's confirmed decisions, with receipts, for every coding agent (local stdio server).

Which app do you use?
Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.
Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"align": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@align-agent/cli",
"mcp"
]
}
}
}Run this in your terminal
claude mcp add align -- npx -y @align-agent/cli mcpOr copy the settings yourself
Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"align": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",

Common questions
Is ALIGN safe?
It passed 1 of 1 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 on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.7) reached the registry yesterday.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.
What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.
@align-agent/cli
The align command: captures the decisions made in your Claude Code, Cursor and Codex sessions, in the repositories you opt in, keeps a receipt for every one, and serves your team's confirmed decisions back to your agents.
This repository is the public source of the npm package. It is published from here by its own workflow with npm's trusted publishing, so every release from 0.1.4 on carries a provenance statement linking it to the commit and workflow run it was built from. (0.0.0 is an empty placeholder that only reserved the name; it is deprecated.)
Install
npx @align-agent/cli initReleases go out on npm's latest dist-tag; prereleases, when there are any, on next.
init signs you in with a device code, connects the repository you are in, shows exactly what is captured and asks before anything is. Requires Node 22.14 or later on macOS or Linux (Windows through WSL).
Commands
align init, align confirm, align decide, align ask, align verify, align backfill, align pack, align sessions, align export, align mcp, align status, align doctor, align on, align off, align login, align logout and align uninstall. Run align --help for each one's options.
What leaves your machine
- Your prompts and the agent's replies in opted-in repositories, with secrets removed and fenced code blocks replaced on your laptop, before anything is sent. Text you paste without a code fence is sent after secret redaction.
- The repository paths the agent touched (never file contents), your commit messages and the decisions you confirm.
- For
align verify: the paths and line numbers where a team check matched, for the commit you share with your remote, never the file contents.
Never sent: file contents, tool outputs, the commands your tools ran, diffs, .env files and paths you deny (.aligndeny), and anything from a repository you have not opted in. Your OS username and your machine's hostname are removed from what is sent.
align status shows what is captured and where; align off stops it at once; align sessions rm deletes a session.
Uninstall
align uninstall # removes what was added for this repository (hooks restored, local files left alone)align uninstall --purge --yes # also deletes everything kept on this laptop
Six promises
- Neutral. Every harness, never our own agent. Your harness's memory is one of our sources.
- Receipts. No ledger entry without evidence. The database refuses one.
- Verified. Checked against what shipped, or marked unverified or stale.
- Yours. Export everything, any time, in open formats (the console's export, or
align export). - Permanent ids. Decision ids (
AL-12) live in your commits and outlive any tool. - Quiet. One comment per PR, batched alerts, no per-developer metrics, ever.
Building and testing from this repository
corepack enablepnpm install --frozen-lockfile pnpm typecheck pnpm test # the CLI's unit tests (the hook-latency suite: pnpm --filter @align-agent/cli test): synthetic fixtures, temporary home folders, local servers on 127.0.0.1 only pnpm build # packages/cli/dist/align.mjs
The release workflow runs the same steps on macOS and Linux with Node 22 and 24 before it builds, packs and smoke-tests the tarball it publishes. The tests and their fixtures are here so you can run them too; none of them is in the npm package, which holds only the bundle, this README and the licence.
Licence
MIT, see LICENSE. It covers everything in this repository, including packages/core/: the parts of ALIGN's shared library the CLI is built from, which the published package bundles.
