The CodeAnt CLI is MCP-compatible — you can expose every CodeAnt command as a tool to any Model Context Protocol client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Zed, etc.) with a single command. Under the hood we use any-cli-mcp-server, which reads the CLI’s --help output and turns each subcommand into an MCP tool. No extra configuration, no wrapper code — your AI assistant gets the same surface area as the CLI.

​
Prerequisites

  1. CodeAnt CLI installed and authenticated — follow the CLI setup guide
  2. Node.js 18 or later — required by npx

​
Quick Start

Run CodeAnt as an MCP server: 
npx -y any-cli-mcp-server codeant
That’s it — every CodeAnt command (review, pr comments, pr resolve, pr list, …) is now available as an MCP tool.

​
Add to Your MCP Client

Drop this into your client’s MCP config (for example, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, claude_desktop_config.json, or .vscode/mcp.json): 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codeant": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "any-cli-mcp-server", "codeant"]
    }
  }
}
Restart your client and CodeAnt will appear as an available MCP server. Building a cache once skips the --help introspection on every launch: 
# Build the cache
npx -y any-cli-mcp-server --cache-build codeant

# Point the MCP server at the cache
npx -y any-cli-mcp-server codeant_cache.json
Then reference the cache file in your MCP config. Use an absolute path — MCP clients launch the server from their own working directory, so a relative filename will not resolve: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codeant": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "any-cli-mcp-server", "/absolute/path/to/codeant_cache.json"]
    }
  }
}

​
What You Can Do

Once connected, ask your assistant things like:
  • “Run a CodeAnt review on my uncommitted changes.”
  • “List open PRs on this repo and fetch unresolved CodeAnt comments on #42.”
  • “Resolve the CodeAnt comments I just fixed.”
The assistant calls the matching CodeAnt CLI commands directly through MCP — same auth, same output, same behavior as running them in your terminal.
