Transport: stdio
Category: Developer tools

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
You fill in yourself: PROJECT_CONTEXT_CONFIG_DIR, PROJECT_CONTEXT_STATE_DIR, PROJECT_CONTEXT_CWD

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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": {
    "project-context": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@sandovalrr/project-context-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PROJECT_CONTEXT_CONFIG_DIR": "your-value",
        "PROJECT_CONTEXT_STATE_DIR": "your-value",
        "PROJECT_CONTEXT_CWD": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add project-context --env PROJECT_CONTEXT_CONFIG_DIR=your-value --env PROJECT_CONTEXT_STATE_DIR=your-value --env PROJECT_CONTEXT_CWD=your-value -- npx -y @sandovalrr/project-context-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "project-context": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@sandovalrr/project-context-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PROJECT_CONTEXT_CONFIG_DIR": "your-value",
        "PROJECT_CONTEXT_STATE_DIR": "your-value",
        "PROJECT_CONTEXT_CWD": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "project-context": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@sandovalrr/project-context-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PROJECT_CONTEXT_CONFIG_DIR": "your-value",
        "PROJECT_CONTEXT_STATE_DIR": "your-value",
        "PROJECT_CONTEXT_CWD": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

PROJECT_CONTEXT_CONFIG_DIR env
Optional absolute path to the host-local configuration directory
PROJECT_CONTEXT_STATE_DIR env
Optional absolute path to the host-local runtime state directory
PROJECT_CONTEXT_CWD env
Optional repository fallback when the MCP client provides no filesystem root

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Project 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 (0.4.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

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?

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

project-context

project-context is a local, provider-neutral MCP server for repository-scoped issue handling. It gives agents one guarded interface to Linear, GitHub Issues, GitHub Projects v2, and Jira Cloud while keeping project mappings and credentials outside source repositories.

The server resolves the current Git repository, selects its configured issue provider, verifies the authenticated account, and separates every write into a preview and a single-attempt apply step. Pull requests, releases, repository administration, Git authentication, and commit signing are intentionally out of scope.

Quick start

Requirements: Node.js 22 or newer on Linux or macOS.

VERSION=0.1.0

npx -y --package="@sandovalrr/project-context-mcp@$VERSION" project-context setup npx -y --package="@sandovalrr/project-context-mcp@$VERSION" project-context doctor

The first command creates secure, host-local starter files without overwriting anything that already exists:

~/.agents/config/project-context/projects.yaml

~/.agents/config/project-context/credentials.yaml ~/.agents/config/project-context/templates/ ~/.agents/config/project-context/secrets/ ~/.local/state/project-context/

Copy and adapt the sanitized examples in examples/, validate the result, and then register the project-context-mcp stdio command in your MCP client. The complete Codex, Claude, Zed, and VS Code configurations are in docs/installation.md.

Safety model

Host-local YAML determines the repository, provider, target, and expected identity. Missing or ambiguous context fails closed for writes.
Credentials resolve from files, environment variables, OS keychains, or argv-only commands. Literal secrets in YAML are rejected.
Provider calls are restricted to fixed HTTPS origins, reject redirects, cap response sizes and timeouts, and never automatically retry writes.
Linear issue operations use a fixed allowlist of Linear's hosted MCP tools; project-context never proxies the upstream server's broader tool catalog.
Prepared writes expire after ten minutes, are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, and can be claimed only once. An uncertain apply result becomes indeterminate and is never replayed automatically.
Mutation audit records contain metadata only, are mode 0600, and rotate locally. The project has no telemetry.

Read docs/threat-model.md for trust boundaries and residual risks, and docs/routing-and-safety.md for operational behavior.

Commands and MCP tools

project-context --help

project-context setup --guided project-context config validate project-context resolve --cwd /path/to/repository project-context issue list --status open --status in_progress project-context issue list --parent linear:ENG-42 project-context issue user search "John Smith" project-context issue capabilities project-context issue option search labels security project-context issue option search cycle current project-context issue get linear:ENG-42 --include-relations project-context issue comment list github:#42 --limit 20 project-context issue prepare create --title "Child task" --parent ENG-42 project-context doctor project-context audit list project-context skill status project-context integration manifest --client codex

The stdio server exposes eleven tools:

resolve_project_context
list_issues
search_issues
list_users
search_users
search_issue_options
get_issue_capabilities
get_issue
list_issue_comments
prepare_issue_change
apply_issue_change

Every tool has an input and output schema. Starting the server has no setup side effects; when host configuration is absent, tools return an actionable structured error.

Linear additionally supports target-scoped subissues, due dates, estimates, cycles, milestones, blocking/related/duplicate relationships, comment replies and edits, archived listing, and relation-expanded reads. SLA fields, permanent deletion, and non-issue Linear features are not exposed.

GitHub additionally supports repository issue types and milestones, native parent/subissue hierarchies, blocking dependencies, duplicate relationships, comment edits, direct-subissue listing, and relation-expanded reads. GitHub custom-field mappings, generic related-to relationships, threaded comment replies, pull requests, and repository administration are not exposed.

integration manifest prints the provider-neutral command definition by default. Pass --client codex, claude, zed, or vscode to emit native, ready-to-paste configuration pinned to the installed package version. Add --json when automation needs an envelope containing the client, format, and configuration.

The optional project-issues agent skill is packaged but never installed as an npm lifecycle side effect:

project-context skill status

project-context skill install

Use --replace only after reviewing status; replacement creates a timestamped backup.
