Why we included this project

Most people who have wired an MCP server into Claude, Cursor, or Codex have hit the same wall: every coding task seems to want its own set of hand-rolled tools. Coding Tools MCP is a single server that any Model Context Protocol client can drive, bundling the practical primitives of autonomous development, file reading and search, structured multi-file patches with rollback, command execution and interactive sessions, and git inspection, into one package. Because the same fixed catalog of tools serves desktop chat apps and custom agent loops alike, you are not tied to one model or vendor. The safety story is built in rather than bolted on: each server is confined to one workspace root, traversal and symlink escapes are rejected, permission modes gate network and shell behavior, and Linux gets kernel-level filesystem confinement. If you want an agent working on a real repository inside clear boundaries, this is a straightforward way to try that without assembling your own stack.
