This is the X-ray machine for your AI development environment. It scans 19 tools (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini, and more) to surface every MCP server, skill, agent, memory store, and context file in your project. Run it standalone to generate an HTML dashboard, or wire it in as an MCP server so your AI assistant can introspect its own ecosystem. The export command bundles your entire setup with automatic secret redaction, then import deploys it to a different tool or project. Particularly handy when you're juggling multiple AI toolchains and lose track of which MCP servers are configured where, or when onboarding teammates who need to replicate your exact setup.
One command. Every AI config in your project. Instantly.
CLI + MCP server · 19 tools detected · Export/Import across 7 targets

The most comprehensive AI ecosystem scanner available. AI Context Inspector discovers every AI configuration file, MCP server, custom skill, agent, and persistent memory in your project — across 19 tools — and gives you the full picture in seconds. Export your entire AI setup and import it into any of 7 supported tools (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini, Codex, OpenCode) with automatic secret redaction. Zero config. Zero runtime dependencies beyond MCP SDK and Zod. Everything runs locally — your configs and credentials never leave your machine.
npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest
That's it. An HTML dashboard opens with everything your AI tools know about your project.

# Live-connect to each MCP server and list its tools
npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest --introspect
# Output raw JSON instead of HTML
npx -y @cocaxcode/ai-context-inspector@latest --json
