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": {
    "adr-guard": {
      "command": "dnx",
      "args": [
        "RodriOliveira.AdrGuard.Mcp",
        "--yes"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add adr-guard -- dnx RodriOliveira.AdrGuard.Mcp --yes

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adr-guard": {
      "command": "dnx",
      "args": [
        "RodriOliveira.AdrGuard.Mcp",
        "--yes"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "adr-guard": {

Common questions

Is ADR Guard 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 (1.0.1) reached the registry 2 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

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

What can I use instead?

ADR Guard MCP server

ADR Guard MCP is a local, read-only adapter that gives compatible Model Context Protocol clients structured access to ADR discovery, validation, impact analysis, and architectural drift verification. It reuses the authoritative ADR Guard domain implementation; it does not approve architectural decisions or turn advisory evidence into compliance.

Publication status: version 1.0.0 is published on NuGet.org, in the dedicated mcp/v1.0.0 GitHub Release, and in the MCP Registry. Version 1.0.1 is an unpublished release candidate that directly references the internal AdrGuard.Core assembly while preserving the seven tools and schema 1.0 contracts. GitHub Packages is an optional authenticated secondary channel whose 1.0.0 backfill remains a separate manual step.

Install and run

Install the published framework-dependent .NET 10 tool from NuGet.org:

dotnet tool install --global RodriOliveira.AdrGuard.Mcp --version 1.0.0

adr-guard-mcp --repository /absolute/path/to/repository --adr-directory docs/adr

For a repository-local tool manifest:

dotnet new tool-manifest

dotnet tool install --local RodriOliveira.AdrGuard.Mcp --version 1.0.0 dotnet tool run adr-guard-mcp -- --repository /absolute/path/to/repository --adr-directory docs/adr

For local development after a Release build, configure an MCP client to run:

dotnet src/AdrGuard.Mcp/bin/Release/net10.0/adr-guard-mcp.dll --repository <repository> [--adr-directory <relative-path>]

Tools and boundaries

The server exposes list_adrs, get_adr, search_adrs, get_adr_relationships, validate_adrs, analyze_impact, and verify_architecture over stdio. Its process stdout is reserved for MCP messages; operational logging is written to stderr. The repository root is fixed at startup, all tools are read-only, and paths accepted by tools are repository-relative.

Candidate packages contain adr-guard-mcp plus the internal, non-packable AdrGuard.Core.dll; they do not contain or depend on the adr-guard CLI executable. Core has no independent package, tag, or release stream.

Optional startup argument --timeout-seconds accepts values from 1 through 300 and defaults to 30 seconds.

The tool requires the .NET 10 runtime. Impact analysis and commit-aware drift evidence also require Git on the server host. It does not expose network transport, write tools, automatic installation, provider credentials, autonomous approval, or execution of workspace scripts. Clients must treat returned ADR text as untrusted content.

See the bilingual MCP overview, configuration, tool contracts, and security model for complete configuration, security, and publication-status guidance.
