Anubis-MCP

𓂀𓁢𓋹𝔸ℕ𝕌𝔹𝕀𝕊𓋹𓁢𓂀 - Intelligent Guidance for AI Workflows

Transform your AI agent from chaotic coder to intelligent workflow orchestrator with three powerful capabilities:

---

QUICK START

Option 1: NPX (Recommended)

Add to your MCP client config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anubis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@hive-academy/anubis"],
      "env": {
        "PROJECT_ROOT": "C:\\path\\to\\projects"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Docker (MCP Configuration)

For Unix/Linux/macOS (mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anubis": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-i",
        "-v",
        "${PWD}:/app/workspace",
        "-v",
        "anubis-data:/app/data",
        "hiveacademy/anubis"
      ]
    }
  }
}

For Windows (mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anubis": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-i",
        "-v",
        "C:\\path\\to\\your\\project:/app/workspace",
        "-v",
        "C:\\path\\to\\your\\project\\data:/app/data",
        "hiveacademy/anubis"
      ]
    }
  }
}

INITIALIZE CUSTOM-MODES ( AGENT RULES)

Once you get the mcp server running you need to initialize the rules (custom-modes) for the agent you are using

Supported Agents: cursor • copilot • roocode • kilocode

Step 1: Initialize Intelligent Guidance

Please initialize Anubis workflow rules for [your-agent-name] by calling the init_rules MCP tool

Step 2: Start Your Workflow

Begin a new workflow for [your-project] with Anubis guidance

ROOCODE Setup Example

1- install the MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anubis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@hive-academy/anubis"],
      "env": {
        "PROJECT_ROOT": "C:\\path\\to\\projects"
      }
    }
  }
}

2- then make sure you are on Code mode and ask it to generate the custom Anubis mode for you

Please initialize Anubis workflow rules for roocode by calling the init_rules MCP tool

3- reload the window and you should see the custom mode in the modes dropdown list. activate it and ask it to create your first task

4- also if you don't have a memory bank files, ask it to generate them for you as the first task.

Cursor Setup Example

For Cursor users, here's a complete setup example:

1. Install MCP Server in Cursor:
   • Open Cursor Settings (Cmd/Ctrl + ,)
   • Navigate to "Extensions" → "MCP Servers"
   • Add new server configuration:

   "anubis": {
     "command": "npx",
     "args": ["-y", "@hive-academy/anubis"],
      "env": {
        "PROJECT_ROOT": "C:\\path\\to\\projects"
      }
   }
   

2. Initialize Cursor Rules

• Make Sure the mcp server is working and active.
• ask the agent to Please initialize Anubis workflow rules for cursor by calling the init_rules MCP tool.
• you should see a file generated at .cursor/rules with the name 000-workflow-core.mdc
• Head over to cursor rules and make sure the rules file are added and active.

Now You are ready to start you first task 🚀.

Hint: an important first step task is to generate memory-bank files Ask the agent to Please create a task to analyze codebase and generate memory-bank files (ProjectOverview.md, TechnicalArchitecture.md, and DeveloperGuide.md)

Claude Code Setup Example

• To install the mcp server use this command claude mcp add anubis npx -y @hive-academy/anubis

  make sure you are on the poject root you want to install this into.

• To make sure it's installed correctly run claude mcp list you should see a server with name anubis.

• now you will need to do a very important step:

  • Download this rules markdown file Anubis Rules
  • Save it inside your project for example inside a folder names rules and file name anubis-rules.md.
  • Then open your CLAUDE.md file and add the following: Anubis Workflow @rules/anubis-rules.md

CORE VALUE #1: INTELLIGENT GUIDANCE FOR AI AGENTS

Your AI agent receives step-by-step intelligent rules for every development task:

// Before Anubis: Chaotic, directionless coding
"Create a user authentication system" →  Where do I start?

// With Anubis: Intelligent guidance at every step
"Create a user authentication system" →
   Requirements Analysis (Researcher Role)
   System Architecture (Architect Role)
   Implementation Plan (Senior Dev Role)
   Quality Validation (Code Review Role)
   Progress Report (Auto-generated)

Benefits:

• 30-50% faster development with structured workflows
• 40-60% fewer defects through quality gates
• 100% MCP-compliant guidance without execution

---

CORE VALUE #2: SEAMLESS TASK & ROLE TRANSITIONS

Never lose context when switching between roles or continuing tasks:

// Seamless context preservation across transitions
{
  "currentRole": "architect",
  "completedSteps": ["requirements", "design"],
  "context": {
    "decisions": ["JWT for auth", "PostgreSQL for storage"],
    "rationale": "Scalability and security requirements",
    "nextSteps": ["Implementation by Senior Dev role"]
  }
}
// → Switch roles without losing any context!

Features:

• Intelligent context preservation between role switches
• Automatic task handoffs with full history
• Role-based boundaries for focused expertise
• Pause and resume workflows anytime

---

CORE VALUE #3: BEAUTIFUL HTML REPORTING

Transform your workflow data into stunning, interactive reports:

What you get:

• Interactive dashboards with Chart.js visualizations
• Mobile-responsive Tailwind CSS design
• Progress tracking with visual indicators
• Performance analytics for each role
• Detailed task breakdowns with timelines
• Export-ready reports for stakeholders

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

// 1. Agent receives intelligent guidance
const guidance = await get_step_guidance({
  executionId: 'auth-system-123',
  roleId: 'senior-developer'
});

// 2. Anubis provides structured rules
{
  "guidance": {
    "step": "Implement JWT authentication",
    "approach": [
      "1. Create User model with Prisma",
      "2. Implement password hashing with bcrypt",
      "3. Create JWT token generation service",
      "4. Add authentication middleware"
    ],
    "qualityChecklist": [
      "SOLID principles applied",
      "Unit tests coverage > 80%",
      "Security best practices",
      "Error handling implemented"
    ],
    "context": {
      "previousDecisions": ["PostgreSQL", "JWT strategy"],
      "nextRole": "code-review"
    }
  }
}

// 3. Agent executes with confidence and reports
await report_step_completion({
  result: 'success',
  metrics: {
    filesCreated: 8,
    testsWritten: 15,
    coverage: 85
  }
});

// 4. Beautiful report auto-generated! 📊
