sudocode · Summary

Lightweight agent orchestration dev tool with MCP server integration for collaborative AI development.

filesystem · Use cases

Enable AI models to read and write project files during development
Allow Claude or other MCP clients to browse and analyze codebases
Provide secure sandboxed access to specific directories for content generation

sudocode · Use cases

Coordinating multiple AI coding agents working on complex feature implementations
Tracking and organizing requirements as specs with bidirectional feedback to agents
Automating the implementation of issue dependency graphs through workflow execution

filesystem · Install

Installation

Using NPX

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
        "/path/to/allowed/directory"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Using Docker

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "--mount", "type=bind,src=/path/to/allowed/dir,dst=/projects/allowed/dir",
        "mcp/filesystem",
        "/projects"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code Extension

Click the installation buttons in the README to install directly in VS Code.

sudocode · Install

Install the CLI globally:

npm install -g sudocode

Initialize a sudocode project:

sudocode init

For agent integration (Claude Desktop example):

Add the plugin: claude plugin marketplace add sudocode-ai/sudocode
Install the plugin: claude plugin install sudocode

Then start the local server: sudocode server

MCP server configuration would typically be done through the sudocode UI or CLI.
