Delimit MCP Server

Developer tools

Last updated September 29, 2026 · By MCPizy team

The merge gate for AI-written code, with signed, replayable attestation. Detects breaking API changes (lint, diff, semver) and keeps memory and a task ledger across AI coding assistants. Install: npx delimit-cli setup.

Install Delimit MCP Server

Via MCPizy CLI (recommended):
mcpizy install delimit-mcp-server
Or run directly:

Why Delimit MCP Server MCP matters

Delimit answers a problem that only appeared once developers started using several AI coding assistants on the same repository: each new session starts blind. Its own line for it is "Keep the state. Change the model." Decisions, tasks and handoff notes live in a local ledger on the developer's machine, so a fresh session in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Antigravity can read what the previous one decided. Their documentation puts it plainly: moving from Claude Code to Codex when a quota runs out does not mean starting over. Setup is one command — `npx delimit-cli setup` — and the MCP server registers itself with the assistants above. Quickstart: https://delimit.ai/docs/quickstart

The second half is for repositories rather than sessions: a merge gate for AI-written code, which produces a signed, replayable attestation. It is available both as a GitHub Action and through the CLI, so the same policy can run in CI and on a developer's machine. Delimit describes the gate and its attestation as free and MIT-licensed. Full documentation: https://delimit.ai/docs

Where it fits: teams that have stopped asking "which assistant is best" and started asking "how do I keep one assistant's work usable by the next one", and repositories that want a record of what an AI changed rather than a policy document about it. The npm package is `delimit-cli`; the server's source is at https://github.com/delimit-ai/delimit-mcp-server

These two points were highlighted by the Delimit team themselves, and each claim above was checked against delimit.ai before publishing.

Common pitfalls

Everything below is quoted from Delimit's own pages, with the page named. We have not run Delimit here, and a first-hand tone we could not back would be worse than none — so this section reports their conditions rather than our experience.

Semantic search is a Pro feature. The quickstart states it plainly: "delimit_memory_search (search by meaning) requires Pro and returns a premium-required result on Free; on Free the assistant reads recent entries." The docs put it the same way: "Storing and recent recall are Free; semantic search (delimit_memory_search) requires Pro." Worth knowing before choosing the free track, which is what most people will start on.

Node is a prerequisite. The quickstart's first step is "Check prerequisites and preview setup — You need Node."

The gate has three behaviours, not one. The docs say "Delimit has three enforcement modes that control how governance decisions are applied", so which mode a repository runs is a decision to make rather than a default to accept.

What runs where, in their words: "Both run on your machine and need no account" (docs), and "No account or model API key needed for local memory" (home page). Tasks and handoff notes "live in a local ledger" (home page).

Frequently asked questions

What is the Delimit MCP Server MCP server?

Delimit MCP Server is listed as an Developer tools Model Context Protocol server whose documented purpose is to let an MCP-compatible agent the merge gate for AI-written code, with signed, replayable attestation. Client support, permissions and authentication remain specific to the upstream project.

How do I install Delimit MCP Server MCP with Claude Code?

The fastest way is the MCPizy CLI: run `mcpizy install delimit-mcp-server` and MCPizy will add the server to your `.claude.json` automatically. You can also install it manually by adding an entry under `mcpServers` in `.claude.json` with the command `null` and restarting Claude Code.

Does MCPizy charge to view or install Delimit MCP Server MCP?

No. Reading this profile and copying its install guidance is free. Upstream software, API, account or usage costs are separate, and licence coverage should be checked from the linked source when available.

Does Delimit MCP Server MCP work with Cursor and Windsurf?

The MCP standard is supported by those clients, but a specific server can still have client-specific setup or transport limits. Use the configuration shown on this page when present and verify the upstream instructions before installation.

What can I do with Delimit MCP Server MCP?

Its documented purpose is to let an MCP-compatible agent the merge gate for AI-written code, with signed, replayable attestation. The exact tools, permissions and write capabilities depend on the server version and configuration shown by the upstream project.
