What is commonplace?
- commonplace 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: README/documentation is current enough for a first validation pass.
- Evidence base: https://github.com/rickbassham/commonplace, https://github.com/rickbassham/commonplace#readme, Human Manual, Pitfall Log

AI Context Pack and portable assets
After deciding to continue, take the project context into your own AI host.Complete pack plus user-owned assets
These files are planning and verification assets for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other AI hosts.
07
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.
- Use the upstream repository as the final authority for installation commands, license, and version-specific behavior.
