Sync MCP server configs and rules across AI coding agents.
You use multiple AI coding agents — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini. Each stores MCP server configs in its own format (JSON, TOML) and its own location. Keeping them in sync manually is tedious and error-prone.
agentsync takes a single source of truth (your Claude Code config) and syncs it to all your agents with one command.

- Case-insensitive deduplication — handles

- Backups — automatic backups before every write
- Validation — structural checks, consistency, duplicate detection
- Extensible — adapter-based architecture for adding new agents

agentsync is designed for extension. To add support for a new AI agent:
- Create
src/agentsync/adapters/youragent.py— implementTargetAdapter - Register it in
cli.py(create_targets) - Add the type to
KNOWN_TARGET_TYPESinconfig.py - Write tests in
tests/test_adapter_youragent.py - Update this README
See CONTRIBUTING.md for detailed guidelines and the full adapter interface.
