Cross-Project MCP Server

A generic MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows AI agents to access code from another project. This enables agents working in one repository (e.g., your website) to reference implementation details from a source repository (e.g., your OSS tool).

Discovery & Instructions

The server exposes get_agent_instructions to help agents understand the target repository.

• Best Practice: Agents should call get_agent_instructions first to read .agent/gemini.md (or similar) from the source repo. This provides context on when and how to delegate tasks.

Agent Discovery & Delegation

All operations are sandboxed to the configured source project path for security.

Installation

cd cross-project-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

Configuration for Antigravity

Add the server to your project's .gemini/mcp_settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oss-project": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/absolute/path/to/cross-project-mcp-server/dist/index.js",
        "/absolute/path/to/your-oss-repo"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Configuration Parameters

Example

If your OSS tool is at /Users/you/projects/my-oss-tool and this server is at /Users/you/tools/cross-project-mcp-server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-oss-tool": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/Users/you/tools/cross-project-mcp-server/dist/index.js",
        "/Users/you/projects/my-oss-tool"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Usage

Once configured, the MCP tools will be available to AI agents working in your project. The agent can:

1. Explore structure: List directories, find files by pattern

2. Read implementation: Read specific files or line ranges

3. Search code: Find usages of functions, types, or patterns

4. Understand symbols: Get outlines of classes and functions

Supported Languages for Outline

The get_file_outline tool supports extracting symbols from:

• TypeScript/JavaScript (.ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx)

• Python (.py)

• Java/Kotlin (.java, .kt)

• Go (.go)

• Rust (.rs)

Security

• All file access is restricted to the configured source project directory

• Common non-essential directories (node_modules, .git, etc.) are automatically excluded

• Path traversal attempts are blocked

Task Delegation (Multi-Agent)

This server supports a Task Delegation Protocol allowing agents to request work from the repository owner.

• submit_task: Write a structured task request (Markdown) to .agent/tasks/

• list_tasks: Check the inbox for new requests

• read_task: Read the full context of a request

Workflow

1. Agent A (Website) needs a change in Repo B (OSS).

2. Agent A calls submit_task on Repo B's MCP server.

3. A file task_[timestamp]_[title].md is created in Repo B.

4. Agent B (OSS) sees the task and implements it.
