Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

35 MCP tools give AI agents live Rails schema, routes, models, and conventions.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

Common questions

Is Rails AI Context 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 (5.39.1) reached the registry 8 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.

What can I use instead?

What it does

An assistant writing Rails code knows what an average Rails app looks like. Yours has its own columns, associations, filters and test setup, and the assistant starts every session with none of that. It writes a migration for a column that exists, calls user.posts when the association is user.articles, scaffolds FactoryBot into a fixture suite, and misses the before_action a parent controller adds. You catch it, fix it, re-prompt, and something next to it breaks.

rails-ai-context gives the assistant 35 tools that read the app itself, over MCP from the AI tool or from the command line. Every answer is read from the app and says how sure it is, and most end with a hint for the next call.

WhenWhat the assistant getsA real line from an answer
It asks about a tableColumns with types, nulls and defaults, the indexes, the model on the tableindex_users_on_email on (email) (unique)
Before it calls an associationAssociations with their options, validations including the implicit ones, enums, scopes, callbacks, concernshas_many articles dependent: destroy (foreign_key: :author_id, inverse_of: :author)
Before it writes an actionThe actions, every filter with where it was inherited from, strong parameters, the layoutbefore authenticate_user! _(from ApplicationController)_ (skipped on: index, show)
Before it writes a testThe framework, where the factories or fixtures live, their traits, a template in the app's styleFactories: spec/factories (3 files)
It traces a methodThe definition and source, what it calls, every caller grouped by file and kind, the testsapp/services/article_publisher.rb (Service) · 11: return false unless @article.publishable?
When the app cannot bootThe same tools, from config/routes.rb, the schema dump and the source, saying so[STATIC] Static mode (static mode requested with --no-boot). Serving static analysis; runtime-only data is marked [UNAVAILABLE].

Each line comes from the sample app in this repository, a blog with Devise, an admin namespace, a JSON API, a Sidekiq job and a FactoryBot suite. The website records the whole answers every time it is built, by running the gem at that commit: crisnahine.github.io/rails-ai-context.

The install writes the files each AI tool reads, so the assistant knows the tools exist and how to ask: the MCP config, one root context file with six anti-hallucination rules, and rules that load when a model, a controller or a migration is open. The tools are read-only, the SQL tool runs inside a read-only transaction, and files that hold secrets are never served.

Try it in your Rails app

Open your AI tool at the root of your Rails app and paste this. It installs the gem, sets up the AI tool you are in, checks the result and tells you the one step left.

Install the rails-ai-context gem in this Rails app so you can read its schema, models, routes and code through its tools instead of guessing.
  1. Run ruby -v and bundle exec rails -v. rails-ai-context needs Ruby 3.1+ and Rails 7.0+. If either is older, stop and tell me.
  2. Pick TOOL, the key for the AI tool you are: claude (Claude Code), cursor (Cursor), copilot (GitHub Copilot in VS Code), opencode (OpenCode), codex (Codex CLI). If you are another AI tool, stop and tell me to use the "Another MCP client" prompt instead.
  3. Run bundle add rails-ai-context --group development --version '>= 5.35.0'. If the Gemfile already lists it, run bundle update rails-ai-context --conservative instead. Then run bundle exec rails-ai-context version: it must print 5.35.0 or newer, the first version with the flags used below. If it is older, the Gemfile pins it: change its rails-ai-context line to gem "rails-ai-context", ">= 5.35.0", group: :development and run bundle update rails-ai-context --conservative. If Bundler refuses (a frozen or deployment bundle), run gem install rails-ai-context -v '>= 5.35.0' instead and use rails-ai-context init --tools TOOL --defaults in step 4.
  4. Run bundle exec rails generate rails_ai_context:install --tools TOOL --defaults. If it fails because the app can't boot, run bundle exec rails-ai-context init --tools TOOL --defaults instead; that one reads the source files when the app won't start.
  5. Run bundle exec rails-ai-context tool onboard (or rails-ai-context tool onboard if you used gem install) and check it describes this app.
  6. Tell me which files changed, then the "Next step" lines the install printed for TOOL, word for word. I have to do that step before your rails-ai-context MCP tools appear.
<!-- END install-prompt -->

Rather type it yourself? In the Gemfile:

bundle add rails-ai-context --group development

bin/rails generate rails_ai_context:install --tools claude --defaults

Standalone, with no Gemfile change:

gem install rails-ai-context

rails-ai-context init --tools claude --defaults

As a Claude Code plugin, which adds the MCP server and gives each session the six rules, and writes no context files. It runs the installed gem, so install that first, and run it in the app's folder:

gem install rails-ai-context

claude plugin install rails-ai-context --marketpla
