My Pi MCP Server

my-pi

What is my-pi?

my-pi is a deterministic local coding capability runtime exposed through the official Model Context Protocol (MCP). It gives MCP-capable coding agents controlled access to a real workspace through explicit workspace authority, bounded reads, guarded writes, structural search, language-server intelligence, and Git operations.

It is aimed at developers who want agentic coding tools to understand and modify code without handing the agent a general-purpose shell or silently granting the current working directory.

Why use it?

• Local-first: source code and detailed workspace state remain on the host.
• Read-only by default: writes and language-server process startup require explicit trusted elevation.
• Safer mutation: writes can require SHA-256 content preconditions instead of blind overwrite semantics.
• Code-aware search: Tree-Sitter structural search across TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Rust, and Go.
• Semantic navigation: LSP symbols, definitions, references, hover, and diagnostics for supported host language servers.
• Git-aware context: bounded status and diff operations with secret filtering and large-diff spillover.
• No secondary paid LLM dependency: the core runtime executes locally and does not select models or spawn agents.

Release channel: Alpha. The npm badge above is authoritative for the currently published package version. This repository may contain a newer release candidate before publication completes. Suitable for evaluation and controlled local development; review the security model before enabling the trusted profile.

Install in under a minute

Requires Node.js >=22.6.0.

npm install -g @koonwang03/my-pi
my-pi-mcp --workspace /path/to/your/project

The server starts read-only. For a workspace you explicitly trust:

my-pi-mcp --workspace /path/to/your/project --security-profile trusted

Or inspect a host configuration without a global install:

npx --yes --package @koonwang03/my-pi my-pi-mcp host-config cursor-local

Generate host-specific configuration snippets:

my-pi-mcp host-config claude-code-local
my-pi-mcp host-config cursor-local
my-pi-mcp host-config opencode-current-local

Starting without --workspace or MY_PI_WORKSPACE_ROOT fails closed. Use --allow-cwd only when granting the current directory is intentional.

The stable public claim is the 13-tool MCP capability surface. The repository also contains an opt-in Production Next coordination/evaluation candidate; those coordination, code-state, change-receipt, evaluation, and feedback features remain experimental and subject to their promotion gates.

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/BoxBoxmari/my-pi.git
cd my-pi
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm build

Prerequisites for repository development:

• Node.js v22.6.0+ or v24 LTS
• pnpm v11.2.2+
• Rust stable is optional and currently relevant only to the deferred native-backend scaffold

Verification

# Local code, architecture, boundary, build, tests, gates and smoke verification
pnpm verify

# Unit/integration suite
pnpm test

# SBOM validation
pnpm verify:sbom

# Release admission checks
pnpm bind:evidence
pnpm verify:release

The configured CI matrix covers Ubuntu, Windows, and macOS lanes. See the live workflow badges above for current status rather than relying on static claims in this document.

Benchmarks

The repository contains deterministic synthetic benchmarks for MCP stdio overhead, search/traversal throughput, memory sampling, runtime boundaries, coordination behavior, impact routing, evaluation feedback, and local reliability. Benchmark outputs are candidate evidence; performance claims should be interpreted alongside their qualification criteria and runner variance.

Production Next (experimental)

Start the local coordination candidate for a logical project:

my-pi-daemon --workspace /path/to/your/project
my-pi-mcp --workspace /path/to/your/project --coordination

Add --evaluation only when the evaluation plane is required. The candidate keeps source and detailed code state local, does not select models or spawn agents, and does not require a hosted control plane.

Relevant qualification commands include:

pnpm bench:impact-arms
pnpm bench:evaluation-feedback-arms
pnpm dogfood:self-host
pnpm bench:local-reliability
pnpm verify:production-next

Search-ignore behavior is documented in docs/SEARCH_IGNORE.md. It is a traversal optimization, not a substitute for sensitive-path policy.

Security

Before using trusted mode, read docs/SECURITY_MODEL.md. Security findings are welcome through the repository's documented reporting process.

Contributing

Issues, reproducible bug reports, benchmark counterexamples, integration feedback, and focused pull requests are welcome. If you are evaluating my-pi in a real coding host, include the host, OS, Node version, security profile, and a minimal reproduction where possible.
