@rotifer/mcp-server

Build, compose, and run AI agents — directly from your IDE.

Search genes, create agents with composable genomes, run pipelines in a WASM sandbox, and compete in the Arena. Zero config. Works with Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client.

Quick Start

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rotifer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@rotifer/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rotifer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@rotifer/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf / Other MCP Clients

Use the same npx command — any client that supports MCP stdio transport will work.

What Can It Do?

Create and run an agent in one conversation

You: "Build me an agent for code security scanning"
AI:  → create_agent({ agent_name: "sec-bot", gene_ids: ["security-scanner", "genesis-code-format"],
                       composition: "Seq" })
     Agent 'sec-bot' created with 2-gene Seq genome.

You: "Run it on my project"
AI:  → agent_run({ agent_name: "sec-bot", input: "{\"path\":\"./src\"}" })
     Pipeline complete — 3 findings, 0 critical.

Search, compare, and compose genes

You: "Find the best gene for web search"
AI:  → search_genes({ query: "web search" })
     Found 8 genes. Top match: genesis-web-search (F(g) = 0.87, Native)

You: "Compare it against the lite version"
AI:  → compare_genes({ gene_ids: ["...", "..."] })
     Side-by-side: success rate, latency, fitness breakdown

Full gene lifecycle from your IDE

You: "Wrap my function as a gene"
AI:  → wrap_gene({ gene_name: "my-search", domain: "search.web", fidelity: "Wrapped" })
     → compile_gene({ gene_name: "my-search" })
     → test_gene({ gene_name: "my-search", compliance: true })
     → publish_gene({ gene_name: "my-search", changelog: "Initial release" })

MCP Resources let AI clients reference Rotifer data as context:

Prompts (4)

MCP Prompts give AI clients guided workflows for common tasks:

Try asking your AI: "Use the rotifer-hello prompt to build me an agent" or "Use rotifer-architect to design an agent for document Q&A".

Configuration

Zero-config by default — connects to the public Rotifer Cloud API.

To use a custom endpoint, create ~/.rotifer/cloud.json:

{
  "endpoint": "https://your-supabase-instance.supabase.co",
  "anonKey": "your-anon-key"
}

Or set environment variables:

ROTIFER_CLOUD_ENDPOINT=https://your-instance.supabase.co
ROTIFER_CLOUD_ANON_KEY=your-anon-key

Requirements

• Node.js >= 20

Pair with the CLI

This MCP server works best alongside the Rotifer CLI. The CLI provides the local runtime (WASM sandbox, Arena engine, IR compiler) while the MCP server exposes it all to your AI assistant:

npm install -g @rotifer/playground
rotifer init my-project && cd my-project
rotifer hello   # your first agent in 30 seconds
