MCP server for Review Mode — manage review annotations from any AI agent

Review Mode MCP Server

MCP server for Review Mode — manage review annotations from any AI agent.

Instead of loading skill files, running CLI scripts, or understanding JSON formats, any MCP-capable agent gets 6 structured tools to work with review annotations.

Installation

# Install globally
uv tool install review-mode-mcp

# Or run directly (no install needed)
uvx review-mode-mcp

MCP Configuration

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Code, Cline, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "review-mode-mcp": {
      "command": "review-mode-mcp"
    }
  }
}

CLI Options

Flag	Default	Description
--revisions-dir	.revisions	Name of the revisions directory

Agent Rules & Skills

The MCP server bundles ready-made rules and skills for supported AI agents. Run the install command from your project root to copy them into your working directory:

# Install Cursor rules and skills
review-mode-mcp install cursor

# Install Cline rules and skills
review-mode-mcp install cline

This copies the appropriate configuration files (.cursor/rules/, .cursor/skills/ or .clinerules/, .cline/skills/) into your current directory, giving your AI agent the instructions it needs to use the Review Mode workflow.

Tools

Tool	Description
open_review	Open a file in Review Mode inside the editor
list_reviewed_files	List all files with reviews in the workspace
get_review_summary	Get revision count and comment status counts for a file
get_annotations	Get the full annotation array from a file's latest revision
update_annotation	Update status and/or add a reply to annotations
create_annotation	Create a new annotation on a specific line

How It Works

The server reads and writes the .revisions/ directory — the same files the VS Code extension watches. When the server modifies annotations, the extension detects the filesystem changes and updates its UI automatically.

.revisions/
└── docs_plans_my-plan_md/    # normalized path
    ├── revisions.json         # revision index
    ├── my-plan.rev0.md        # snapshot
    ├── rev0.json              # annotations for rev0
    ├── my-plan.rev1.md
    └── rev1.json

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Review Mode VS Code extension (for open_review and UI)
