Pathrule
MCP server by Pathrule
Give coding agents path-scoped project memories, rules and skills, stored locally or in Pathrule Cloud.
Connect to Pathrule
Pathrule needs sign-in. Connect with its own URL:
Your client opens Pathrule’s sign-in the first time you use it. The token stays between your client and Pathrule.

mcp.tc/i/pathruleAbout
Pathrule is a knowledge layer for coding agents. It serves project, personal and team memories, rules and skills scoped to paths in your code, so agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot and Windsurf get the relevant context. Tools include pathrule_get_context, pathrule_resolve, pathrule_read_memory and pathrule_write_memory.
It runs as a local stdio package (@pathrule/mcp via npx) over a store on your machine, or as a hosted streamable-http endpoint at Pathrule Cloud. The hosted endpoint needs a Pathrule Cloud account. The vendor's access documentation does not describe the sign-in method in detail.
What you can do
- Fetch path-scoped context for the code being edited
- Read stored project memories
- Write new memories for future sessions
- Resolve rules and skills that apply to a path
- Use a local store or a Pathrule Cloud workspace
Tools
Pathrule lists its tools only after you sign in, so we can’t show them here. Your client lists them once you’re connected.
Example prompts
Get the Pathrule context for the src/auth folder before changing it.
Save a memory that token refresh broke login once in this project.
Read the memories that apply to the billing module.
Resolve which rules and skills apply to this file.
Set up
Every client connects to cloud.pathrule.io, and Pathrule asks you to sign in the first time. Pick yours; the page remembers your choice.
Claude Code
- Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport http pathrule https://cloud.pathrule.io/mcp- Start Claude Code, type
/mcp, pick pathrule and choose Authenticate. A browser window opens for the Pathrule sign-in.
Add --scope user to make it available in every project, not just this one.
Claude Desktop
- Open Customize → Connectors, click + Add, then Add custom connector.
- Name it Pathrule and paste this URL:
https://cloud.pathrule.io/mcp- Click Add, then Connect, and sign in when Pathrule asks.
Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.
claude.ai
- Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:
Add to claude.ai (opens in a new tab)
- Check that the URL reads
https://cloud.pathrule.io/mcpand click Add. - Click Connect and sign in when Pathrule asks.
Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors.
ChatGPT
- On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
- Go to
chatgpt.com/pluginsand click + to create an app for a remote MCP server. - Paste
https://cloud.pathrule.io/mcpas the server URL and choose OAuth. ChatGPT sends you to Pathrule to sign in.
Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.
Cursor
Add to Cursor (opens in a new tab)
Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):
{
"mcpServers": {
"pathrule": {
"url": "https://cloud.pathrule.io/mcp"
}
}
}Cursor shows Needs authentication next to the server. Click the button beside it to sign in.
VS Code
Install in VS Code (opens in a new tab)
Or from a terminal:
code --add-mcp '{"name":"pathrule","type":"http","url":"https://cloud.pathrule.io/mcp"}'Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"pathrule": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://cloud.pathrule.io/mcp"
}
}
}VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.
Devin Desktop
- Add it to
~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json(macOS and Linux) or%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json(Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"pathrule": {
"serverUrl": "https://cloud.pathrule.io/mcp"
}
}
}- Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.
Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers.
Codex
codex mcp add pathrule --url https://cloud.pathrule.io/mcp
codex mcp login pathruleOr edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:
[mcp_servers.pathrule]
url = "https://cloud.pathrule.io/mcp"Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add --transport http pathrule https://cloud.pathrule.io/mcpThen, inside Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth pathrule to sign in.
This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.
Any client
Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI’s settings file.
{
"mcpServers": {
"pathrule": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://cloud.pathrule.io/mcp"
}
}
}Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.
Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://cloud.pathrule.io/mcp.
Embed
Show Pathrule in a README or on your site. Each embed links to this page, uses the server’s own URL, and sets no cookies. How embeds work
The card, the iframe and the JSON are in English. Add ?lang=it, fr, de or es to their address for another language.
README badge
[](https://mcp.tc/i/pathrule)<a href="https://mcp.tc/i/pathrule"><img src="https://mcp.tc/i/pathrule/badge.svg" alt="Pathrule on mcp.tc" height="20"></a>It follows the reader’s light or dark mode. Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to fix it, or ?style=compact to show the mark without the word.
Website card
<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/pathrule.js" async></script>The card appears where the tag is. Add data-theme="dark" or data-size="compact" to the tag to change it. The file holds everything it needs, so it makes no other requests and sets no cookies.
iframe
<iframe src="https://mcp.tc/embed/pathrule" title="Pathrule on mcp.tc" width="420" height="200" loading="lazy" allow="clipboard-write" style="border:0;border-radius:8px;max-width:100%"></iframe>Use it on pages that don’t allow scripts. Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to the address to fix the colors.
JSON
The listing as data for your own pages and tools: name, tagline, the server’s own URL, tools and the “Add to” links. Any site can read it (CORS is open).
https://mcp.tc/i/pathrule.jsonAI prompt
Paste this into an AI coding assistant, such as Claude Code or Cursor, and it adds the Pathrule card to your site.
Add the mcp.tc card for Pathrule, an MCP server, to my website. It is one static script: no build step, no package to install, no cookies.
Put this tag where the card should appear. The card renders right before it:
```html
<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/pathrule.js" async></script>
```
To show the card somewhere else, put this placeholder there and load the same script once, for example before `</body>`. Keep the link inside: visitors without JavaScript see it.
```html
<div data-mcptc="pathrule"><a href="https://mcp.tc/i/pathrule">Pathrule on mcp.tc</a></div>
```
Options:
- `data-theme="light"` or `"dark"` on the tag or the placeholder fixes the colors. Without it, the card follows the visitor’s light or dark mode.
- `data-size="compact"` gives a smaller card without the tagline.
- The CSS variable `--mcptc-max-width` on the placeholder or a parent sets the width (default `520px`).
- `?lang=` on the script URL sets the card’s language: `en`, `it`, `fr`, `de` or `es`.
If the site has a Content Security Policy, allow `script-src https://mcp.tc` and `img-src data:` (the icon is inline).
For a README or other Markdown docs, use the badge instead:
```markdown
[](https://mcp.tc/i/pathrule)
```

Nothing recorded yet. Edits by the server’s owner will show up here.
FAQ
Can I paste mcp.tc/i/pathrule into my MCP client?
No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://cloud.pathrule.io/mcp, so your client talks to Pathrule directly. The sign-in token only works there anyway. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.
Does Pathrule need an API key or a sign-in?
Yes, you need a Pathrule account. The first time your client connects, it opens Pathrule’s sign-in page. The token goes straight to the server’s own URL, never through mcp.tc.
Is Pathrule a remote or a local server?
Remote. Pathrule hosts it at https://cloud.pathrule.io/mcp, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There’s nothing to install.
What can Pathrule do?
You can fetch path-scoped context for the code being edited, read stored project memories and write new memories for future sessions.
Which clients can use it?
Any client that supports remote MCP servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. The setup steps cover each one.
Does mcp.tc track changes to Pathrule?
Partly. Pathrule’s tools are behind a sign-in, so its History tab shows only edits by its owner. Follow the listing to get an email when it changes.
Who wrote this page?
mcp.tc’s robot read Pathrule’s own metadata (its MCP handshake, tool list and public pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can’t confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
mcp.tc isn’t affiliated with Pathrule. This page was built from Pathrule’s public metadata, last checked on 25 Oct 2026, and an AI model wrote the description, so it can be wrong. Names and marks belong to their owners. Something off? Report this listing.
