• Cache hit rate: > 50%
• Error rate: < 2%
• Uptime: > 99.9%

Architecture

The server implements the Model Context Protocol and provides:

1. Resources: Documentation files accessible via MCP resource URIs
2. Tools: Four main tools for retrieving guidelines:
   • get_coding_rules: Professional coding standards
   • get_development_skills: Development best practices
   • get_steering_instructions: AI agent guidance
   • get_custom_guidance: AI-curated context-specific advice

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+
• Anthropic API key (optional, but required for get_custom_guidance tool)

Setup

1. Clone this repository

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

   or with uv:

   uv sync
   

3. (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_guidance tool 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 Rules
• guidelines://skills - Development Skills & Practices
• guidelines://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

1. Agent Request: An AI agent calls one of the MCP tools
2. Document Loading: The server loads relevant documentation from markdown files
3. AI Orchestration (for custom guidance): Claude analyzes the query and selects relevant content
4. Response: The server returns targeted, actionable guidance

Development

Running Tests

pytest

Adding New Documentation

1. Create or edit markdown files in docs/
2. Update config.yaml to reference new files
3. Restart the server

Customizing AI Behavior

Edit the system prompts in src/ai_orchestrator.py to change how the AI selects and presents documentation.

Environment Variables

• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: Required for AI orchestration features
