Quilt MCP Server

Quilt is a command-line tool that tracks which agent wrote which lines in a shared Git checkout, so multiple AI coding agents can work in one repo at once and each commits only its own changes. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with coding agents, developer tools and git and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Quilt

before you install - you'll need

QUILT_ACTOR

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add wkoverfield-quilt -- npx -y @quilt-dev/cli

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wkoverfield-quilt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@quilt-dev/cli"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package @quilt-dev/cli - the @quilt-dev scope differs from the repo owner (wkoverfield); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.wkoverfield is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

06 · Quilt FAQ

What is Quilt?

Is Quilt still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-09-16 and it shipped 10+ releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Quilt?

Run `npx -y @quilt-dev/cli`. The README documents one environment variable (QUILT_ACTOR) to set first. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Quilt run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
