The most comprehensive AI ecosystem scanner available. AI Context Inspector discovers every AI configuration file, MCP server, custom skill, agent, and persistent memory in your project — across 19 tools — and gives you the full picture in seconds. Export your entire AI setup and import it into any of 7 supported tools (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini, Codex, OpenCode) with automatic secret redaction. Zero config. Zero runtime dependencies beyond MCP SDK and Zod. **Everything runs locally — your configs and credentials never leave your machine.**

---

## Quick Start

```bash
npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest
```

That's it. An HTML dashboard opens with everything your AI tools know about your project.

```bash
# Scan a specific directory
npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest --dir /path/to/project

# Include user-level configs (~/.claude, ~/.gemini, etc.)
npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest --user

# Live-connect to each MCP server and list its tools
npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest --introspect

# Output raw JSON instead of HTML
npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest --json
```

<details>
<summary>All CLI flags</summary>

| Flag | Description | Default |
|------|-------------|---------|
| `--dir <path>` | Directory to scan | `.` (current) |
| `--user` | Include user-level configs (`~/`) | `false` |
| `--introspect` | Connect to MCP servers and list tools | `false` |
| `--timeout <ms>` | Introspection timeout per server | `10000` |
| `--json` | Output JSON instead of HTML | `false` |
| `--mcp` | Run as MCP server (stdio transport) | `false` |

</details>

---

## MCP Server Setup

Run as an MCP server so your AI tools can inspect their own ecosystem.

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add --scope user ai-context-inspector -- npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest --mcp
```

### Claude Desktop

Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-context-inspector": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest", "--mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

<details>
<summary>Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code / Codex CLI</summary>

**Cursor / Windsurf** — add to `.cursor/mcp.json` or equivalent:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-context-inspector": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest", "--mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

**VS Code** — add to `.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "ai-context-inspector": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest", "--mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

**Codex CLI:**

```bash
codex mcp add ai-context-inspector -- npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest --mcp
```

</details>

Or add directly to any `.mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-context-inspector": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest", "--mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

## What It Detects

| Tool | Context Files | What's Found |
|------|--------------|--------------|
| **Claude Code** | `CLAUDE.md`, `.claude/`, `.mcp.json` | Instructions, MCP config, skills, agents, memory |
| **Cursor** | `.cursorrules`, `.cursor/rules/`, `.cursorignore` | Rules, ignore patterns |
| **Windsurf** | `.windsurfrules`, `.windsurf/rules/` | Codeium/Windsurf rules |
| **GitHub Copilot** | `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, `.github/agents/` | Instructions, custom agents |
| **Gemini CLI** | `GEMINI.md`, `.gemini/`, `.geminiignore` | Config, rules |
| **OpenAI Codex** | `AGENTS.md`, `AGENT.md`, `.codex/` | Agent instructions |
| **OpenCode** | `OPENCODE.md`, `.opencode/`, `opencode.json` | CLI config |
| **Aider** | `.aider.conf.yml`, `.aiderignore` | Config, model settings |
| **Cline** | `.clinerules`, `.clineignore` | Rules (file or directory) |
| **Roo Code** | `.roo/rules/`, `.roorules`, `.rooignore` | Rules |
| **Continue.dev** | `.continuerules`, `.continue/config.yaml` | Rules, config |
| **Amazon Q** | `.amazonq/rules/` | Developer rules |
| **Augment** | `.augment/rules/`, `.augment-guidelines` | Code rules |
| **Replit** | `.replit.md` | Agent instructions |
| **Firebase Studio** | `.idx/airules.md` | AI rules |
| **VS Code** | `.vscode/mcp.json` | MCP configuration |
| **Tabnine** | `.tabnine.yaml` | AI config |
| **Sourcegraph** | `.sourcegraph/` | Cody config |
| **Universal** | `CONVENTIONS.md` | Multi-tool conventions |

> **Tip:** Pass `--user` to also scan user-level configs: `~/.claude/`, `~/.gemini/`, `~/.codex/`, `~/.continue/`, `~/.aider.conf.yml`, `~/.augment/`, `~/.github/agents/`, `~/.codeium/`, `~/.opencode/`, `~/.tabnine/`.

Beyond context files, the scanner also detects:

- **MCP servers** from `.mcp.json`, `~/.claude.json`, `.vscode/mcp.json`, Claude Desktop config — with optional live introspection
- **Custom skills** in `.claude/skills/` (including symlinks from `npx skills add`)
- **Custom agents** in `.claude/agents/` with memory detection
- **Persistent memories** — Claude Memory, agent memory, engram, OpenSpec, ATL
