antigravity-cli-mcp-slim 0.1.1

A thin, auditable MCP server wrapping the Antigravity CLI (agy). Forward-compatible with future CLI flags via extra_args passthrough.

antigravity-cli-mcp-slim

A thin, auditable MCP server wrapping the Antigravity CLI (agy).

Why

When you add an MCP server to your AI coding tool, every prompt and code snippet you send flows through that wrapper. Most CLI-wrapping MCP servers are small, individually maintained packages — and recent supply-chain incidents (xz-utils, postmark-mcp, the npm chalk/debug compromise) show that "small and useful" is not the same as "safe to trust blindly."

This project takes the opposite stance: instead of asking you to trust it, it tries to be easy to audit.

• Single file — the whole server is src/antigravity_cli_mcp_slim/server.py, readable end-to-end in one sitting
• One third-party dependency (mcp) — minimal supply-chain surface
• Faithful CLI mapping — every typed parameter mirrors a real agy flag by name, so it is obvious which flags an invocation actually sets
• Forward-compatible — any new or uncommon agy flag is reachable via extra_args without touching this server
• Configurable binary path — $AGY_CMD lets you swap or wrap the agy binary
• Transparent — every invocation logs the exact argv to stderr

Read server.py before you install. That is the point.

Prerequisites

• The agy CLI installed and on $PATH (or pointed to via $AGY_CMD). See the official Antigravity CLI repository and install docs.
• agy already authenticated — this wrapper does not manage login; it surfaces agy's own error output if the CLI is not ready.

Installation

Usage as an MCP server

Claude Code

claude mcp add antigravity-cli uvx antigravity-cli-mcp-slim

Or manually in ~/.claude.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "antigravity-cli": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["antigravity-cli-mcp-slim"]
    }
  }
}

If agy is not on the launching process's $PATH, point $AGY_CMD at it:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "antigravity-cli": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["antigravity-cli-mcp-slim"],
      "env": { "AGY_CMD": "/absolute/path/to/agy" }
    }
  }
}

Other MCP clients

Any MCP-compatible client can launch the server via stdio:

uvx antigravity-cli-mcp-slim

Tool: consult_agy

Runs a single agy invocation in non-interactive print mode (agy --print). agy is an agentic assistant: it autonomously reads files in directory (and any add_dir) to fulfill the request, then prints the response.

Parameter	Type	Description
query (required)	string	Prompt sent verbatim to agy --print
directory (required)	string	Working directory (agy cwd); the default workspace root
add_dir	string[]	Extra workspace directories; each maps to one --add-dir (repeatable, not comma-joined)
dangerously_skip_permissions	bool	Pass --dangerously-skip-permissions (auto-approve all tool requests). See warning below
sandbox	bool	Pass --sandbox (terminal restrictions enabled)
continue	bool	Pass --continue (resume the most recent conversation). Mutually exclusive with conversation
conversation	string	Pass --conversation <ID> (resume a specific conversation). Mutually exclusive with continue
print_timeout	string	Pass --print-timeout (Go duration, e.g. 5m0s). Keep shorter than timeout_seconds
extra_args	string[]	Raw CLI flags appended verbatim. Use for new/uncommon agy flags
env	object	Extra environment variables for the agy subprocess
timeout_seconds	int	Hard wall-clock timeout for the subprocess (default 660)

Security note: dangerously_skip_permissions

dangerously_skip_permissions: true passes --dangerously-skip-permissions, which auto-approves all of agy's tool permission requests — including running shell commands and editing files — with no prompt. The parameter keeps the dangerously_ prefix on purpose: enable it only in a trusted, isolated workspace where you fully trust the prompt. It defaults to false.

Cross-repository analysis example

Analyze multiple repositories from a single invocation by adding directories to the workspace:

{
  "name": "consult_agy",
  "arguments": {
    "query": "Compare the API surface of the main service with the clients that call it",
    "directory": "/path/to/main-service",
    "add_dir": [
      "/path/to/client-a",
      "/path/to/client-b"
    ]
  }
}

This launches agy --print "..." --add-dir /path/to/client-a --add-dir /path/to/client-b, giving the agent read access to all three workspaces in one session.

Conversation continuity

agy can resume prior conversations. This wrapper exposes that directly and stays stateless itself:

• continue: true resumes the most recent conversation. Because "most recent" is shared state, concurrent calls can race on it — prefer conversation when it matters.
• conversation: "<ID>" resumes a specific conversation by id.

The two are mutually exclusive; passing both returns an error.

Timeout configuration

There are two independent timeouts:

• print_timeout — agy's own wait timeout (Go duration; agy defaults to about 5 minutes).
• timeout_seconds — this wrapper's hard wall-clock limit (default 660).

Keep timeout_seconds longer than print_timeout so agy can finish or time out cleanly before the wrapper force-kills the subprocess. When you raise print_timeout for a long task, raise timeout_seconds to match.

Forward-compatibility example

If a future agy release adds a new flag (say --super-mode), use it immediately without updating this server:

{
  "name": "consult_agy",
  "arguments": {
    "query": "...",
    "directory": "...",
    "extra_args": ["--super-mode"]
  }
}

Configuration

Environment variable	Default	Purpose
AGY_CMD	agy	Path to the agy CLI binary
ANTIGRAVITY_CLI_MCP_SLIM_TIMEOUT	660	Default subprocess timeout in seconds
ANTIGRAVITY_CLI_MCP_SLIM_LOG_LEVEL	INFO	Logging level for stderr diagnostics
