io.github.cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector

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

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

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

# 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

MCP Server Setup

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

Claude Code

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

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

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

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

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

VS Code — add to .vscode/mcp.json:

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

Codex CLI:

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

Or add directly to any .mcp.json:

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

What It Detects

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

Features

Scan

npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest
npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest --user --introspect

Generates a self-contained HTML dashboard with dark/light mode, search, collapsible sections, file previews, and color-coded tool badges. Pass --json for raw output.

Export

# Export your AI ecosystem to .aci/bundle.json
npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest export

# Export only MCP and context configs, redact secrets
npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest export --only mcp,context --secrets none

Import

# Import into a Cursor project
npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest import --target cursor

# Auto-detect tool, skip confirmation, overwrite existing
npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest import --yes --force

Supported Import Targets

Note: Secrets handling has three modes: none (redact all — safe for sharing), all (include as-is), or interactive (prompt per variable, CLI default). Environment variables in MCP configs are detected automatically.

MCP Tool Reference

When running as an MCP server (--mcp), five tools are exposed:

scan

Discover the complete AI ecosystem in a project directory.

introspect_mcp

Connect to a specific MCP server and list its tools, resources, and prompts.

*Either command (stdio) or url (http) is required.

generate_report

Generate a standalone HTML dashboard from scan results.

export_ecosystem

Export the complete AI ecosystem to a portable .aci/bundle.json.

import_ecosystem

Import a bundle into a project, adapting configuration to the target tool.

Warning: import_ecosystem defaults to dry-run mode (confirm: false). Set confirm: true to actually write files.
