Overview
Sets up a local AI pair-programming environment with Ollama, Continue.dev, and various Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to extend AI capabilities for development tasks without cloud dependencies.
Installation
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.mcp.yaml up -dEnvironment Variables
- GITHUB_TOKEN
- SNYK_TOKEN
- SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN
- OXYLABS_USERNAME
- OXYLABS_PASSWORD
- OXYLABS_API_KEY
Security Notes
The system involves running multiple local services (Ollama, Docker containers, global npm packages) that grant broad permissions (e.g., Docker containers mount the entire project directory for read/write access via Filesystem and Git MCPs). While intended for functionality (AI agent interacting with the local codebase), this requires strong trust in all installed components and the AI itself. Environment variables for credentials (GitHub, Snyk, Sentry, Oxylabs) are required but not hardcoded in the provided source.
Similar Servers
klavis
Develop and deploy AI agents that interact with a wide array of web services (e.g., Gmail, YouTube, LinkedIn, Supabase, Salesforce, Kubernetes) through a standardized Model Context Protocol (MCP), often orchestrated by an intelligent routing layer like Strata.
Lynkr
Lynkr is an AI orchestration layer that acts as an LLM gateway, routing language model requests to various providers (Ollama, Databricks, OpenAI, etc.). It provides an OpenAI-compatible API and enables AI-driven coding tasks via a rich set of tools and a multi-agent framework, with a strong focus on security, performance, and token efficiency. It allows AI agents to interact with a defined workspace (reading/writing files, executing shell commands, performing Git operations) and leverages long-term memory and agent learning to enhance task execution.
