About Groundhog

Groundhog is an MCP server published by ghuntley in the Developer Tools category: groundhog's primary purpose is to teach people how Cursor and all these other coding agents work under the hood. If you understand how these coding assistants work from first principles, then you can drive these tools harder (or perhaps make your own!).

The repository has 405 stars and 19 forks, with the last commit a year ago. Six months or more without a commit doesn't mean the server is broken, but check the open issues before depending on it in production.

Install

From source
git clone https://github.com/ghuntley/groundhog

This server has no ConduID identity, so agent calls to it are not receipted. Pin the version you install and review the source before granting it credentials.

README

Groundhog AI Coding Assistant

Groundhog's primary purpose is to teach people how Cursor and all these other coding agents work under the hood. If you understand how these coding assistants work from first principles, then you can drive these tools harder (or perhaps make your own!). As part of the series kicked off at http://ghuntley.com/specs we'll be building it together, increment by increment.

Please don't raise GitHub issues mentioning that XYZ does not work as I'm yet to decide on the community model around the project and doing customer support for free is not high up on my list.

Groundhog is a teaching tool first. If you want a full-blown thing right now, go check out "Goose", "Roo/Cline", "Aider" or "AllHands".

Questions

About Groundhog

How do I install Groundhog?

No package has been published for this server, so install it from source: clone the repository and follow its README.

Is Groundhog safe to use with an AI agent?

Its trust score is 73 out of 100 (good). It passes 4 of the 6 static security checks run so far; the failures are listed above. It has no ConduID identity yet, so agent calls to it are not receipted.

Is Groundhog still maintained?

The last commit was a year ago and 1 open issues. That's long enough that you should check whether the maintainer is responding to issues before depending on it.
