Tools & capabilities

Qodercli MCP tools 3

  • ask-qoderDelegate a task to qodercli (Qoder CLI), a local agentic coding assistant. Use it to get a second opinion, a code review, or to have Qoder perform a self-contained coding task in a given working directory. Returns structured output including session_id; pass it back as resume_session_id to continue the conversation.
  • list-sessionsList local qodercli sessions (index + id + summary) so you can pick a resume_session_id for ask-qoder.
  • list-modelsList models currently supported by qodercli. Use this before picking a model name for ask-qoder.

IAF Agent Bridge tools 3

  • delegateSend a prompt to Cursor Agent and wait until that Cursor turn is terminal, including tool work and any sub-agent follow-up Cursor performs before it stops. Returns Cursor's reply and the sessionId to reuse. A second call for a session that is still running is rejected. You decide CONTINUE, COMPLETE, or BLOCKED. Do not shell out to the agent binary.
  • cancelCancel an in-flight Cursor turn by sessionId. Status is cancelled, killed, not-running (the turn ended and the session can still be resumed), or not-found.
  • doctorReport Node, bridge version, Cursor CLI discovery, authentication state without secrets, and an optional ACP handshake.
