Overview

What is Egent?

Egent is a collaborative MCP server that converts a GitHub repository of AI agent contexts into an MCP Server. It enables engineers using different programming tools (Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, etc.) to share, version, and collaboratively improve task templates and agent instructions.

How to use Egent?

Configure Egent as an MCP server in your tool using npx -y egent@latest with either --context-repo for a remote GitHub repository or --context-path for a local directory. After configuration, issue the egent_start command to initiate interaction with your code-agent.
