ak mcp link

Mirror MCP servers into another adapter config

Mirror MCP servers into another adapter config

Synopsis

What it does: Plans or applies a conservative MCP mirror from discovered Claude-style MCP config into an adapter config.

Who it's for: Power devs, AI agents, and CI jobs validating MCP config parity.

When to use it: Use after ak mcp list to preview or apply cross-adapter MCP config.

Examples: ak mcp link --to codex --json ak mcp link --to codex --apply --json ak mcp link --to codex --source .mcp.json --target ~/.codex/config.toml --json

What changes on disk: Dry-run by default. With --apply, writes the target adapter config after creating a backup.

Output modes: pretty default on TTY (colors, ASCII markers) plain auto when stdout piped or --no-interactive json --json (single-object envelope, NDJSON-safe)

Exit codes: 0 success 1 runtime error 2 invalid flags 3 user-cancel (SIGINT, prompt-cancel)
