Prevent Coding Agents from breaking your repo: Introducing Agentic SDLC MCP for GitHub 🚀

Hi Cursor community,

We all love how powerful Cursor’s Composer and Agents are, but let’s be honest — sometimes agents can be a bit too confident. They might rush into coding without reading your project guidelines, push directly to the main branch, or accidentally ignore your existing CI/CD standards.

To solve this, I built agentic-sdlc-mcp, an engineering governance and safety control plane for AI coding agents. It acts as a protective shield between Cursor and your GitHub repositories.

:glowing_star: Key Features:

  • Strict Context Alignment: Forces agents to plan based on your exact issue context, CLAUDE.md, or architecture guidelines before writing code.
  • Safety First (dryRun: true by default): All destructive or mutating tools (like creating PRs/Issues) run in dry-run mode first to let you review.
  • Quality & Security Gates: Agents can automatically audit workflow permissions, check branch protection status, and run security triages before making changes.
  • 12 Dedicated Tools: Built-in tools for plan_from_context, review_pr_against_standard, prepare_work_item, and more.

:rocket: How to use it in Cursor

It takes less than 30 seconds to configure. Just open your Cursor settings, go to Models -> MCP, and add a new MCP server with:

  • Type: command
  • Command: npx agentic-sdlc-mcp configure (or run it in your terminal to save global config)

I’d love to hear your thoughts! How do you currently enforce engineering discipline when letting Agents roam free in your codebases?
