Loki Mode MCP Server

_The free, source-available autonomous coding agent by Autonomi. Same Loki CLI, SDK, and MCP for everyone; the commercial editions for teams and enterprises are sold under the Autonomi brand (Autonomi Cloud, Autonomi Enterprise)._. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

Claude Code

claude mcp add asklokesh-loki-mode -- npx -y loki-mode

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asklokesh-loki-mode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "loki-mode"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
