AI Assistants

The Codegen Project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to help you create and manage The Codegen Project configurations and interactions. This allows tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible assistants to understand The Codegen Project and assist you more effectively.

Why Use the MCP Server?​

When connected to an AI assistant, the MCP server provides:

  • Configuration Creation: AI can generate complete codegen configuration files based on your requirements
  • Configuration Adaption: AI can help adapt your codegen configuration based on your requirements
  • Interacting with generated code: Can help inject the right context for interacting with the generated code
  • Documentation Access: AI has direct access to all project documentation.

Quick Setup​

Claude Code​

Add to ~/.claude/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "the-codegen-project": {
      "url": "https://the-codegen-project.org/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor​

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "the-codegen-project": {
      "url": "https://the-codegen-project.org/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf​

Add to your Windsurf MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "the-codegen-project": {
      "url": "https://the-codegen-project.org/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Other MCP-Compatible Tools​

Any tool that supports the Model Context Protocol can connect using the URL:

Self-Hosting​

You can run your own instance of the MCP server for development or private use. See the MCP server repository for setup instructions.
