What is coding-ethos?

coding-ethos helps connect external tools, services, or data sources to AI hosts that support MCP.
Best fit: Developers who need Claude, Cursor, Codex, or another MCP-capable AI host to call external tools safely.
Not for: Not for users who cannot change host configuration, grant tool permissions, or isolate network, file, and credential access.
Capability added to an AI workflow: MCP setup guidance, host configuration checks, tool permission boundaries, recovery steps, and acceptance checks
First safe verification step: Verify the MCP server command, permission scope, and rollback path in a non-primary host configuration first.
Verification state: source, Quick Start, and sandbox install checks are recorded as passed.
Top risk: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user.
Evidence base: https://github.com/paudley/coding-ethos, https://github.com/paudley/coding-ethos#readme, Human Manual, Pitfall Log

Preflight checks

Treat this page as a planning asset, not proof that your local environment is ready.

The manual is generated from source-linked project files and Doramagic validation signals.
Community evidence warnings stay visible instead of being converted into marketing claims.
This English page is indexable because the locale quality gate passed and explicit English index approval is enabled.
