Why
If you use Claude Code as your primary AI coding agent but also switch between other agents (Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Kiro, Cursor, Kimi CLI, Vibe CLI, Qwen Code, Amp, Cline CLI, Windsurf) to take advantage of their free tiers or different models, you know the pain โ every tool has its own MCP config format, and setting them up one by one is tedious. Same goes for instruction files โ CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md all need the same content but in different formats.
This tool lets you configure MCP servers and write instructions once in Claude Code, then sync everywhere with a single command.
Quick Start
Option A: Claude Code Plugin (recommended)
Install as a Claude Code plugin via marketplace:
# 1. Add the marketplace
claude plugin marketplace add Leoyang183/sync-agents-settings
# 2. Install the plugin
claude plugin install sync-agents-settings
# Then use slash commands in any conversation:
# /sync โ sync MCP configs (with dry-run preview)
# /sync-list โ list all MCP servers
# /sync-diff โ compare configs between agents
# /sync-doctor โ detect config drift and parse errors
# /sync-validate โ validate schema and target capabilities
# /sync-reconcile โ validate + detect drift + sync only missing
# /sync-instructions โ sync CLAUDE.md to other agents
# /report-schema โ print or write report JSON schema markdown
The plugin also includes a sync-awareness skill that automatically suggests syncing when you edit MCP settings or CLAUDE.md files.
Option B: CLI via npx
No installation needed โ just run with npx:
# List all MCP servers detected from Claude Code
npx sync-agents-settings list
# Preview sync (no files modified)
npx sync-agents-settings sync --dry-run
# Sync to all targets (with automatic backup)
npx sync-agents-settings sync
# Sync CLAUDE.md instructions to all targets
npx sync-agents-settings sync-instructions
Option C: Global Install
# Global install for the `sync-agents` command
npm install -g sync-agents-settings
# Then use directly
sync-agents list
sync-agents sync

# Check Codex project-level config drift
sync-agents doctor --target codex --codex-home ./.codex
# Validate only selected targets and ignore OAuth-only servers
sync-agents validate --target codex opencode --skip-oauth
# Validation semantics:
# - blank-only command/url values are treated as missing
# - OAuth-only servers produce manual-setup warnings without duplicate field errors
# Reconcile selected targets only
sync-agents reconcile --target gemini codex
# Sync instruction files (CLAUDE.md โ GEMINI.md / AGENTS.md / Kiro steering / Cursor rules / Aider conventions)
# Targets: gemini, codex, opencode, kimi, vibe, kiro, cursor, aider, qwen, amp

# Sync only global instructions
sync-agents sync-instructions --global
# Sync only project-level instructions
sync-agents sync-instructions --local
# Sync to specific targets
sync-agents sync-instructions --target gemini codex kimi vibe aider qwen amp
# Auto-overwrite without prompts (for CI)
sync-agents sync-instructions --on-conflict overwrite
# Keep legacy behavior: remove standalone @import lines instead of expanding
sync-agents sync-instructions --import-mode strip
# Allow standalone @import to read files outside current project root (use with care)
sync-agents sync-instructions --allow-unsafe-imports
# Preview instruction sync
sync-agents sync-instructions --dry-run

Notes:
- Local source resolution prefers
./.claude/CLAUDE.md, then falls back to./CLAUDE.md. - Extra rules in
.claude/rules/**/*.mdare appended automatically (unless already included via@import). - If a rule file has frontmatter
paths, it is included only when at least one project file matches. @importhandling defaults toinline(expand). Use--import-mode stripto remove standalone import lines.- By default, standalone
@importcan only read files inside the current project root. Use--allow-unsafe-importsto opt out. - Inline import expansion has guardrails (
max depth: 20,max files: 200) to avoid runaway recursion. - Aider sync also upserts
.aider.conf.ymlreadsoCONVENTIONS.mdis loaded automatically (global/project follows the sync scope). - Kimi CLI currently loads
AGENTS.mdfrom the working directory.~/.kimi/AGENTS.mdis synced as a reusable global template.
When a target file already exists, you'll be prompted to choose: overwrite, append (keep existing + add CLAUDE.md below), or skip. Use --on-conflict overwrite|append|skip for non-interactive mode.
Safety mechanisms:
- Existing servers are never overwritten (idempotent, safe to re-run)
- Automatic backup to
~/.sync-agents-backup/by default (--no-backupto skip) --dry-runpreviews changes without writing any files
Source: Claude Code
Reads MCP servers from two sources:
~/.claude.jsonโmcpServersobject (user-configured servers)~/.claude/plugins/cache/<marketplace>/<plugin>/<version>/.mcp.jsonโ enabled plugin MCP servers (matched against~/.claude/settings.jsonenabledPlugins)
Claude Code has two .mcp.json formats:
// Format 1: Flat (e.g. context7, firebase)
{ "context7": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp"] } }
// Format 2: Nested under mcpServers (e.g. sentry, stripe)
{ "mcpServers": { "sentry": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.sentry.dev/mcp" } } }
Target: Gemini CLI
Writes to ~/.gemini/settings.json โ mcpServers object.
Key format differences from Claude:
- Claude
type: "http"โ GeminihttpUrl - Claude
type: "sse"โ Geminiurl - Claude
command(stdio) โ Geminicommand(same) - Env var syntax: Claude
${VAR}โ Gemini$VAR(auto-converted)
// Gemini settings.json
{
"theme": "Dracula", // existing settings preserved
"mcpServers": {
"context7": { // stdio server

"args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp"]
},
"sentry": { // http server
"httpUrl": "https://mcp.sentry.dev/mcp"
}
}
}
Target: Codex CLI
Writes to ~/.codex/config.toml (global) by default. Use --codex-home <path> to write to a project-level .codex/config.toml instead.
Note: Codex CLI does NOT merge global and project configs. When a project has
.codex/, Codex only reads that directory. Global~/.codex/is ignored entirely.
Key format differences:
- Uses TOML instead of JSON
command/argsfor stdio (same concept)urlfor HTTP servers (no type field needed)envis a TOML sub-table[mcp_servers.<name>.env]
[mcp_servers.context7]
command = "npx"

N8N_API_KEY = "your-key"
N8N_API_URL = "https://your-n8n.example.com"
Target: OpenCode
Writes to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json โ mcp object.
Key format differences:
- Root key is
mcp(notmcpServers) - stdio servers use
type: "local"with a mergedcommandarray (command + args combined) - HTTP/SSE servers use

Claude Code Plugin
This project is both a Claude Code plugin and marketplace, providing slash commands and a contextual skill directly inside Claude Code conversations.
Installation
# From GitHub (remote โ clones the repo)
claude plugin marketplace add Leoyang183/sync-agents-settings
claude plugin install sync-agents-settings
# Or from local path (symlink โ reflects local changes instantly)
claude plugin marketplace add /path/to/sync-agents-settings
claude plugin install sync-agents-settings
Slash Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/sync | Sync MCP server configs to other agents (with dry-run preview and confirmation) |
/sync-list | List all MCP servers configured in Claude Code |
/sync-diff | Compare MCP configs between Claude and other agents |
/sync-doctor | Detect MCP config drift between Claude and targets |
/sync-validate | Validate MCP schema and target capability compatibility |
/sync-reconcile | Validate + detect drift + sync only missing servers |
/sync-instructions | Sync CLAUDE.md instruction files to other agent formats |
/report-schema | Print or write report JSON schema markdown |
Sync-Awareness Skill
The plugin includes a skill that automatically detects when you're editing MCP settings (.claude.json, .mcp.json) or CLAUDE.md files, and suggests syncing to other agents.
Plugin Development
# Validate plugin/marketplace structure
claude plugin validate /path/to/sync-agents-settings
Limitations
- OAuth servers (e.g. Slack with
oauth.clientId) are synced as URL-only โ you'll need to authenticate manually in each CLI ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}env vars won't resolve in other CLIs- Codex CLI doesn't support
${VAR:-default}syntax in URLs โ these are auto-expanded during sync (env value if set, otherwise the default) - Re-running sync will not overwrite existing entries (safe to run multiple times)
- Codex CLI does NOT merge global and project configs โ when
.codex/exists in a project, global~/.codex/is ignored - If target config directories don't exist, sync will skip that target (won't create directories)
