Stride MCP server

Stride plugins for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor

Work your Stride backlog from your coding agent. Two commands do the loop:

	Claude Code	Codex	Cursor
Pick up your next story, with its full spec, and start it	/stride:next	$stride:next	/stride-next
Check it against its acceptance criteria and hand it back for review	/stride:done	$stride:done	/stride-done

Next pulls the story a teammate staged for you with "Hand to your agent" or, when nothing is staged, the top story assigned to you that is still to do (the active sprint first, then by priority). You get its acceptance criteria, linked designs and documents, relations and open defects in one call. It moves the story to In Progress and sets up a branch named after its key. Name a key (/stride:next ORB-526) to pick up a particular story.

Done runs your tests, checks every acceptance criterion against the change, and moves the story to In Review with a comment saying what changed. If a criterion is not met, it says what remains and leaves the status alone. It asks before committing, and pushes only when you ask.

Every plugin connects your agent to Stride's MCP server, https://www.stride.page/api/mcp/stride. You sign in to Stride in your browser; there is no key to copy. You choose the project the agent works in and the projects it can reach, and you can disconnect it at any time in Stride under Settings → Integrations → Connected apps. The agent works with your own permissions in each project, and everything it writes is labeled as your agent's.

Claude Code

claude plugin marketplace add Newlight-Solutions/stride-plugins
claude plugin install stride@stride

Or, inside a session: /plugin marketplace add Newlight-Solutions/stride-plugins, then /plugin install stride@stride.

Then run /mcp, select plugin:stride:stride, and choose Authenticate. Your browser opens to sign in to Stride. After that, run /stride:next.

Prefer the server without the commands?

claude mcp add --transport http stride https://www.stride.page/api/mcp/stride

Codex

codex plugin marketplace add Newlight-Solutions/stride-plugins

Then start codex, run /plugins, open Stride AI and install it. Codex asks you to sign in to Stride when you install. Start a new session, then run $stride:next.

Cursor

Copy the cursor folder to ~/.cursor/plugins/local/stride and run Developer: Reload Window. Then open Customize → MCPs, where Stride shows that it needs to sign in, and follow its prompt; your browser opens to sign in to Stride. After that, run /stride-next in chat. (On Enterprise, Cursor loads local plugins only when an admin allows local plugin imports.)

On a Teams or Enterprise plan, an admin can instead import this repository as a team marketplace (Dashboard → Plugins & MCPs → Add Marketplace → Import from Repo), and everyone installs Stride from Customize. Once Stride is listed in the Cursor Marketplace, anyone can install it from Customize: find Stride and select Install.

Prefer the server without the commands? Add it to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stride": { "url": "https://www.stride.page/api/mcp/stride" }
  }
}

Using an agent key instead

Headless runs (CI, claude -p, codex exec) cannot open a browser to sign in. For those, create an agent key in Stride under Settings → Integrations and send it as Authorization: Bearer <key>. Setup for each agent: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor.

This repository

• claude-code/, codex/ and cursor/ are the three packages, each in its agent's own format. They are generated: edit source/ and run npm run build.
• codex/ is also the package submitted to OpenAI's plugin directory (ChatGPT and Codex), as Stride AI, with its review material. It carries its own version, so a directory release leaves the other two packages alone.
• .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, .agents/plugins/marketplace.json and .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json are the marketplaces the install commands above read.
• server.json is Stride's entry in the MCP Registry.
• npm run check rebuilds nothing; it fails if a package has drifted from source/ or breaks a rule its agent documents. CI runs it on every push.
