Architecture
The server implements the Model Context Protocol and provides:
- Resources: Documentation files accessible via MCP resource URIs
- Tools: Four main tools for retrieving guidelines:
get_coding_rules: Professional coding standardsget_development_skills: Development best practicesget_steering_instructions: AI agent guidanceget_custom_guidance: AI-curated context-specific advice
Installation
Prerequisites
- Python 3.11+
- Anthropic API key (optional, but required for
get_custom_guidancetool)
Setup
-
Clone this repository
-
Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txtor with uv:
uv sync -
(Optional) Set your Anthropic API key for AI-powered custom guidance:
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"Note: The server works without an API key, but the
get_custom_guidancetool will return a graceful error message directing users to the other three tools. The static documentation tools (get_coding_rules,get_development_skills,get_steering_instructions) work fully without any API key.
Usage
Running the MCP Server
python main.py
The server runs as an MCP stdio server, communicating over standard input/output.
MCP Client Configuration
To use this server with an MCP client (like Claude Desktop), add it to your MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ai-dev-guidelines": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["/path/to/this/repo/main.py"],
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}
Available Tools
1. get_coding_rules
Get professional coding rules and standards for writing production-quality code.
# No parameters required
result = await session.call_tool("get_coding_rules", {})
2. get_development_skills
Get development skills, best practices, and professional techniques.
# No parameters required
result = await session.call_tool("get_development_skills", {})
3. get_steering_instructions
Get AI agent steering instructions for context-aware development.
# No parameters required
result = await session.call_tool("get_steering_instructions", {})
4. get_custom_guidance
Get AI-curated guidance tailored to your specific development context.
# Requires query parameter
result = await session.call_tool("get_custom_guidance", {
"query": "How do I implement secure authentication in a Python web app?",
"context": "Building a Flask application with user login" # optional
})
Available Resources
The server exposes three documentation resources:
guidelines://rules- Professional Coding Rulesguidelines://skills- Development Skills & Practicesguidelines://steering- AI Steering Instructions
Configuration
Edit config.yaml to customize:
- Server name and version
- Documentation file paths
- AI model settings (model, max_tokens, temperature)
- Tool descriptions
Documentation
Core Documentation
The server includes three main documentation files in the docs/ directory:
- rules.md: Professional coding standards, security practices, testing requirements
- skills.md: Development skills from debugging to API design
- steering.md: AI agent guidance for effective code generation
Deployment & Operations
Complete guides in the Documentation/ directory:
- PRODUCTION_DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md: Complete production deployment guide
- PRE_LAUNCH_CHECKLIST.md: Step-by-step checklist for beta launch
- SENTRY_SETUP_GUIDE.md: Error tracking and monitoring setup
- BETA_DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md: Platform-specific deployment instructions
- QUICKSTART.md: Quick start guide
- SECURITY_IMPLEMENTATION.md: Security features and best practices
You can customize these documents to match your organization's standards.

How It Works
- Agent Request: An AI agent calls one of the MCP tools
- Document Loading: The server loads relevant documentation from markdown files
- AI Orchestration (for custom guidance): Claude analyzes the query and selects relevant content
- Response: The server returns targeted, actionable guidance
Development
Running Tests
pytest
Adding New Documentation
- Create or edit markdown files in
docs/ - Update
config.yamlto reference new files - Restart the server
Customizing AI Behavior
Edit the system prompts in src/ai_orchestrator.py to change how the AI selects and presents documentation.
