## **QUICK START**
### **Option 1: NPX (Recommended)**
> Add to your MCP client config
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"anubis": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@hive-academy/anubis"],
"env": {
"PROJECT_ROOT": "C:\\path\\to\\projects"
}
}
}
}
```
### **Option 2: Docker (MCP Configuration)**
**For Unix/Linux/macOS (mcp.json):**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"anubis": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-i",
"-v",
"${PWD}:/app/workspace",
"-v",
".anubis:/app/.anubis",
"hiveacademy/anubis"
]
}
}
}
```
**For Windows (mcp.json):**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"anubis": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-i",
"-v",
"C:\\path\\to\\your\\project:/app/workspace",
"-v",
"C:\\path\\to\\your\\project\\.anubis:/app/.anubis",
"hiveacademy/anubis"
]
}
}
}
```
---
## **INITIALIZE CUSTOM-MODES ( AGENT RULES)**
> Once you get the mcp server running you need to initialize the rules (custom-modes) for the agent you are using
**Supported Agents**: `cursor` β’ `copilot` β’ `roocode` β’ `kilocode`
### **Step 1: Initialize Intelligent Guidance**
```
Please initialize Anubis workflow rules for [your-agent-name] by calling the init_rules MCP tool
```
### **Step 2: Start Your Workflow**
```
Begin a new workflow for [your-project] with Anubis guidance
```
---
## **ROOCODE Setup Example**
[](https://www.youtube.com/embed/NPWrGJ_lRqY?si=dXFzTf-qJqNRzOu6&start=477)
1- install the MCP server:
```
{
"mcpServers": {
"anubis": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@hive-academy/anubis"],
"env": {
"PROJECT_ROOT": "C:\\path\\to\\projects"
}
}
}
}
```
2- then make sure you are on Code mode and ask it to generate the custom Anubis mode for you
`Please initialize Anubis workflow rules for roocode by calling the init_rules MCP tool`
3- reload the window and you should see the custom mode in the modes dropdown list. activate it and ask it to create your first task
4- also if you don't have a memory bank files, ask it to generate them for you as the first task.
## **Cursor Setup Example**
**For Cursor users, here's a complete setup example:**
1. **Install MCP Server in Cursor:**
- Open Cursor Settings (`Cmd/Ctrl + ,`)
- Navigate to "Extensions" β "MCP Servers"
- Add new server configuration:
```
"anubis": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@hive-academy/anubis"],
"env": {
"PROJECT_ROOT": "C:\\path\\to\\projects"
}
}
```
2. **Initialize Cursor Rules**
- Make Sure the mcp server is working and active.
- ask the agent to `Please initialize Anubis workflow rules for cursor by calling the init_rules MCP tool`.
- you should see a file generated at .cursor/rules with the name `000-workflow-core.mdc`
- Head over to cursor rules and make sure the rules file are added and active.
### Now You are ready to start you first task π.
> Hint: an important first step task is to generate memory-bank files
> Ask the agent to `Please create a task to analyze codebase and generate memory-bank files (ProjectOverview.md, TechnicalArchitecture.md, and DeveloperGuide.md)`
## **Claude Code Setup Example**
- To install the mcp server use this command `claude mcp add anubis npx -y @hive-academy/anubis`
> make sure you are on the poject root you want to install this into.
- To make sure it's installed correctly run `claude mcp list` you should see a server with name `anubis`.
- now you will need to do a very important step:
- Download this rules markdown file [Anubis Rules](https://github.com/Hive-Academy/Anubis-MCP/blob/main/.roo/rules-anubis/rules.md)
- Save it inside your project for example inside a folder names `rules` and file name `anubis-rules.md`.
- Then open your CLAUDE.md file and add the following:
`Anubis Workflow @rules/anubis-rules.md`

// Before Anubis: Chaotic, directionless coding
"Create a user authentication system" β Where do I start?
// With Anubis: Intelligent guidance at every step
"Create a user authentication system" β
Requirements Analysis (Researcher Role)
System Architecture (Architect Role)
Enhanced Implementation with Subtasks (Senior Dev Role)
Quality Validation (Code Review Role)
Delivery Preparation (Integration Engineer Role)
```
**Benefits:**
- **30-50% faster development** with structured workflows
- **40-60% fewer defects** through quality gates
- **100% MCP-compliant** guidance without execution

"context": {
"decisions": ["JWT for auth", "PostgreSQL for storage"],
"rationale": "Scalability and security requirements",
"nextSteps": ["Enhanced Implementation with Subtasks by Senior Dev role"]
}
}
// β Switch roles without losing any context!
```

Scored across 16 tools
The tool set has clear thematic grouping around workflow execution, transitions, and guidance, but there is significant overlap in purpose. For example, get_step_guidance, get_workflow_guidance, and get_next_available_step all provide guidance-related information, which could confuse an agent about which to use. Similarly, execute_mcp_operation and workflow_execution_operations both handle workflow operations, though their descriptions hint at different scopes.
Most tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., execute_mcp_operation, generate_workflow_report, get_role_transitions), which aids readability. However, there are minor deviations such as init_rules (verb_noun but abbreviated) and workflow_execution_operations (noun-heavy, less action-oriented), slightly disrupting the pattern.
With 16 tools, the count is borderline for a workflow guidance server. It feels heavy due to overlapping tools, but it might be justified if each serves a distinct niche in a complex domain. The scope appears broad, covering initialization, execution, transitions, reporting, and guidance, which could warrant this number, but it risks being overwhelming.
The tool surface covers key aspects of workflow management: initialization (bootstrap_workflow, init_rules), execution (execute_mcp_operation, workflow_execution_operations), transitions (execute_transition, validate_transition), guidance (get_step_guidance, get_workflow_guidance), and reporting (generate_workflow_report, get_report_status). Minor gaps might exist, such as tools for deleting or archiving workflows, but core workflows are well-supported.
