ansible-devtools-mcp

# ansible-devtools-mcp Standalone, vendor-agnostic MCP server for Ansible workflows with first-class support for modern MCP clients (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor). ## Requirements - Python 3.12+ - `ansible-core` 2.20+ (installed automatically as a package dependency) - `uv` recommended for install and execution ## One-click setup Install once: ```bash uv tool install ansible-devtools-mcp ``` Then configure your client in one command: ### GitHub Copilot in VS Code ```bash ansible-devtools-mcp install --client copilot ``` ### Claude Code ```bash ansible-devtools-mcp install --client claude ``` ### Cursor ```bash ansible-devtools-mcp install --client cursor ``` For project-scoped setup (checked into your repo): ```bash ansible-devtools-mcp install --client copilot --scope project --workspace-root . ansible-devtools-mcp install --client cursor --scope project --workspace-root . ``` Use a custom server key in client config if needed: ```bash ansible-devtools-mcp install --client copilot --name ansible-devtools-mcp-prod ``` ## Running the server manually Default transport (STDIO): ```bash ansible-devtools-mcp serve --stdio ``` Streamable HTTP transport: ```bash ansible-devtools-mcp serve --http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 ``` SSE transport: ```bash ansible-devtools-mcp serve --sse --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 ``` ## Why `ansible-devtools-mcp serve --stdio` keeps the terminal open `--stdio` runs a long-lived MCP server process. It waits for JSON-RPC messages from your MCP client. - This is expected. - Press `Ctrl+C` to stop it when running manually. - In real usage, the client launches and manages this process for you. ## Tool coverage ### Core Ansible operations - `lint` - `playbook_syntax_check` - `playbook_run` - `inventory_parse` - `inventory_graph` ### Upstream-compatible endpoints - `list_available_tools` - `zen_of_ansible` - `ansible_content_best_practices` - `ansible_lint` - `ade_environment_info` - `ade_setup_environment` -…
