# Research Agent MCP Setup Agents Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Make `ktx setup-agents` install the `ktx-research` skill and configure or print MCP client entries that point agents at the local `ktx mcp` HTTP endpoint.
**Architecture:** Keep `packages/cli/src/setup-agents.ts` as the setup orchestration point. Add a small MCP-client config planner/writer in the same module, backed by `.ktx/mcp.json` when present, and install the research skill from a copied runtime asset so source checkouts and published CLI builds use the same `SKILL.md`.
**Tech Stack:** TypeScript, Vitest, Node fs/path APIs, Commander setup options, KTX MCP daemon state, JSON config writers.
---
## Current Audit
Original spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-14-research-agent-mcp-tools-design.md`
Implemented v1 slices confirmed in current source:
- MCP `sql_execution`, `entity_details`, `dictionary_search`, and `discover_data` are registered in `packages/context/src/mcp/context-tools.ts`.
- Local project MCP ports wire all four tools in `packages/context/src/mcp/local-project-ports.ts`.
- Parser-backed SQL validation exists in `python/ktx-daemon/src/ktx_daemon/sql_analysis.py` and is exposed through `POST /sql/validate-read-only`.
- `ktx mcp start|stop|status|logs` exists in `packages/cli/src/commands/mcp-commands.ts`, with HTTP hosting in `packages/cli/src/mcp-http-server.ts` and daemon state in `packages/cli/src/managed-mcp-daemon.ts`.
- Targeted verification passed:
- `pnpm --filter @ktx/context exec vitest run src/mcp/server.test.ts src/search/discover.test.ts src/scan/entity-details.test.ts src/sl/dictionary-search.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @ktx/cli exec vitest run src/mcp-http-server.test.ts src/managed-mcp-daemon.test.ts src/commands/mcp-commands.test.ts src/setup-agents.test.ts`
V1-blocking gaps remaining against the original spec:
- `ktx setup-agents` still installs only the existing `ktx` agent files; it does not install `ktx-research`.
- `ktx setup-agents` does not write Claude Code or Cursor MCP JSON config entries.
- `ktx setup-agents` does not print Codex or opencode copy-paste snippets.
- `ktx setup-agents --remove` cannot remove written MCP JSON keys because none are written or tracked.
- The ingest-side warehouse-verification tools still use `connectionName`, `targets`, and `rowLimit`, and `WarehouseCatalogService` still exposes connection-name terminology. That is a separate v1-blocking subsystem and is not mixed into this setup-agent plan.
Non-blocking or explicitly out-of-scope gaps:
- Python code execution over MCP.
- Stdio MCP transport.
- OS-level auto-start.
- Native TLS, audit logging, rate limiting, per-tool authorization, and multi-project daemon routing.
- Streaming SQL results.
## File Structure
Create:
- `packages/cli/src/skills/research/SKILL.md`
- Canonical research skill body from the spec.
- Copied into `dist/skills/research/SKILL.md` during `@ktx/cli` build.
- `packages/cli/scripts/copy-runtime-assets.mjs`
- Copies `src/skills` into `dist/skills` after TypeScript compilation.
Modify:
- `packages/cli/package.json`
- Append the runtime asset copy step to the `build` script.
- `packages/cli/src/setup-agents.ts`
- Add `local` agent scope for Claude Code's per-project private config path.
- Add `research-skill` file entries in `plannedKtxAgentFiles()`.
- Read the research skill asset when writing research-skill entries.
- Add MCP endpoint resolution from `.ktx/mcp.json`, falling back to `http://localhost:7878/mcp`.
- Add JSON writers for Claude Code and Cursor MCP entries.
- Add printed snippets for Codex and opencode.
- Track written JSON keys in the install manifest.
- Print the daemon-start hint when the daemon is not currently running.
- `packages/cli/src/setup-agents.test.ts`
- Cover research skill install paths, MCP JSON writers, snippets, manifest removal, token handling, and no literal-token rendering.
- `packages/cli/src/commands/setup-commands.ts`
- Add `--local` for Claude Code local-scope setup.
- Reject `--local` with non-Claude targets and reject `--local --global`.
- `packages/cli/src/setup.ts`
- No behavior change beyond accepting `KtxAgentScope` with the new `local` value.
- `packages/cli/src/cli-program.ts`
- Keep the default bare setup `agentScope: 'project'`; no code change needed unless TypeScript requires the widened scope type in nearby annotations.
## Task 1: Add The Research Skill Runtime Asset
**Files:**
- Create: `packages/cli/src/skills/research/SKILL.md`
- Create: `packages/cli/scripts/copy-runtime-assets.mjs`
- Modify: `packages/cli/package.json`
- Modify: `packages/cli/src/setup-agents.test.ts`
- Modify: `packages/cli/src/setup-agents.ts`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing research-skill install tests**
In `packages/cli/src/setup-agents.test.ts`, update the first test to expect `ktx-research` entries. Replace the project-scoped assertions with:
```typescript
it('plans project-scoped CLI and research files for every target', () => {
expect(plannedKtxAgentFiles({ projectDir: tempDir, target: 'claude-code', scope: 'project', mode: 'cli' })).toEqual([
{ kind: 'file', path: join(tempDir, '.claude/skills/ktx/SKILL.md'), role: 'skill' },
{ kind: 'file', path: join(tempDir, '.claude/skills/ktx-research/SKILL.md'), role: 'research-skill' },
{ kind: 'file', path: join(tempDir, '.claude/rules/ktx.md'), role: 'rule' },
]);
expect(plannedKtxAgentFiles({ projectDir: tempDir, target: 'codex', scope: 'project', mode: 'cli' })).toEqual([
{ kind: 'file', path: join(tempDir, '.agents/skills/ktx/SKILL.md'), role: 'skill' },
{ kind: 'file', path: join(tempDir, '.agents/skills/ktx-research/SKILL.md'), role: 'research-skill' },
{ kind: 'file', path: join(tempDir, '.codex/instructions/ktx.md'), role: 'rule' },
]);
expect(plannedKtxAgentFiles({ projectDir: tempDir, target: 'cursor', scope: 'project', mode: 'cli' })).toEqual([
{ kind: 'file', path: join(tempDir, '.cursor/rules/ktx.mdc') },
{ kind: 'file', path: join(tempDir, '.cursor/rules/ktx-research.mdc'), role: 'research-skill' },
]);
expect(plannedKtxAgentFiles({ projectDir: tempDir, target: 'opencode', scope: 'project', mode: 'cli' })).toEqual([
{ kind: 'file', path: join(tempDir, '.opencode/commands/ktx.md') },
{ kind: 'file', path: join(tempDir, '.opencode/commands/ktx-research.md'), role: 'research-skill' },
]);
expect(plannedKtxAgentFiles({ projectDir: tempDir, target: 'universal', scope: 'project', mode: 'cli' })).toEqual([
{ kind: 'file', path: join(tempDir, '.agents/skills/ktx/SKILL.md') },
{ kind: 'file', path: join(tempDir, '.agents/skills/ktx-research/SKILL.md'), role: 'research-skill' },
]);
});
```
Add this test after `installs target files, writes a manifest, and marks agents complete`:
```typescript
it('installs the research skill from the runtime asset', async () => {
const io = makeIo();
await expect(
runKtxSetupAgentsStep(
{
projectDir: tempDir,
inputMode: 'disabled',
yes: true,
agents: true,
target: 'universal',
scope: 'project',
mode: 'cli',
skipAgents: false,
},
io.io,
),
).resolves.toMatchObject({ status: 'ready' });
const researchSkill = await readFile(join(tempDir, '.agents/skills/ktx-research/SKILL.md'), 'utf-8');
expect(researchSkill).toContain('name: ktx-research');
expect(researchSkill).toContain('Always run `discover_data` before writing SQL.');
expect(researchSkill).toContain('Treat a `dictionary_search` miss as non-authoritative.');
});
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**
Run:
```bash
pnpm --filter @ktx/cli exec vitest run src/setup-agents.test.ts
```
Expected: FAIL because `plannedKtxAgentFiles()` does not return `ktx-research` entries and the installed research skill file does not exist.
- [ ] **Step 3: Add the research skill asset**
Create `packages/cli/src/skills/research/SKILL.md`:
```markdown
---
name: ktx-research
description: Use when answering a question that needs data from a KTX-connected database - investigating, analyzing, "how many", "show me", "what's the breakdown of", finding records by value, exploring tables, comparing periods, or any data-investigation request. Triggers even when the user does not say "research"; if the answer requires querying a configured KTX connection, this skill applies.
---
# KTX Research Workflow
You have access to KTX MCP tools for investigating data. Follow this workflow.
<workflow>
1. **Discover** - call `discover_data` first to see what exists across wiki, semantic-layer sources, and raw tables. Returns refs only.
2. **Inspect top hits in parallel** - for each promising ref:
- `kind: 'wiki'` -> `wiki_read`
- `kind: 'sl_source'`, `kind: 'sl_measure'`, or `kind: 'sl_dimension'` -> `sl_read_source`
- `kind: 'table'` or `kind: 'column'` -> `entity_details`
3. **Resolve literals** - if the user named a value such as "Acme Corp" or "status=shipped", call `dictionary_search` to find which column holds it.
4. **Query** -
- Prefer `sl_query` when the semantic layer covers the question.
- Use `sql_execution` only for questions the semantic layer does not cover.
5. **Capture learnings** - at the end of the turn, call `memory_capture` so future turns benefit. Skip when the answer carries no durable knowledge.
</workflow>
<rules>
- Always run `discover_data` before writing SQL. Do not guess table names.
- Prefer the semantic layer over raw SQL when both can answer the question; measures are the source of truth.
- Read entity details before writing SQL against an unfamiliar table. Do not assume column names.
- Treat `sql_execution` as read-only. Writes are rejected by the server.
- Validate value mentions with `dictionary_search` instead of guessing case or spelling. Treat a `dictionary_search` miss as non-authoritative. The index is built from profile-sampled values, so a missing value may simply have been outside the sample. Follow up with `sql_execution` against the most plausible columns before concluding the value is absent.
</rules>
<examples>
**Input:** "How many orders did Acme Corp place last month?"
**Workflow:**
1. `dictionary_search({ values: ["Acme Corp"] })` finds `customers.name`.
2. `discover_data({ query: "orders customer monthly" })` finds an orders semantic-layer source.
3. `sl_read_source({ connectionId: "warehouse", sourceName: "orders_facts" })` confirms the source grain, measures, and dimensions.
4. `sl_query({ connectionId: "warehouse", measures: ["order_count"], filters: ["customer_name = 'Acme Corp'"] })` answers through the semantic layer.
5. `memory_capture({ userMessage, assistantMessage })` captures the durable finding.
---
**Input:** "What columns does the events table have?"
**Workflow:**
1. `discover_data({ query: "events table" })` returns a `table` ref.
2. `entity_details({ connectionId: "warehouse", entities: [{ table: "analytics.events" }] })` returns columns, types, and foreign keys.
3. Answer directly. No query is needed.
</examples>
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Copy skill assets during CLI build**
Create `packages/cli/scripts/copy-runtime-assets.mjs`:
```javascript
import { cp, mkdir, rm } from 'node:fs/promises';
import { dirname, join } from 'node:path';
import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url';
const packageRoot = fileURLToPath(new URL('..', import.meta.url));
const skillsSource = join(packageRoot, 'src', 'skills');
const skillsTarget = join(packageRoot, 'dist', 'skills');
await rm(skillsTarget, { recursive: true, force: true });
await mkdir(dirname(skillsTarget), { recursive: true });
await cp(skillsSource, skillsTarget, { recursive: true });
```
Modify `packages/cli/package.json`:
```json
"build": "node -e \"fs.rmSync('dist', { recursive: true, force: true })\" && tsc -p tsconfig.json && node scripts/copy-runtime-assets.mjs && node ../../scripts/prepare-cli-bin.mjs"
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Add research-skill install entries and content loading**
In `packages/cli/src/setup-agents.ts`, update the manifest entry role type:
```typescript
| { kind: 'file'; path: string; role?: 'skill' | 'rule' | 'research-skill' }
```
Add this helper near `ktxCliLauncher()`:
```typescript
async function readResearchSkillContent(): Promise<string> {
const path = fileURLToPath(new URL('./skills/research/SKILL.md', import.meta.url));
const content = await readFile(path, 'utf-8');
return content.endsWith('\n') ? content : `${content}\n`;
}
```
Update `plannedKtxAgentFiles()` so every supported project target includes the `ktx-research` entry shown in Step 1. For global targets, return:
```typescript
if (input.scope === 'global') {
if (input.target === 'claude-code') {
const home = process.env.HOME ?? '';
return [
{ kind: 'file', path: join(home, '.claude/skills/ktx/SKILL.md'), role: 'skill' as const },
{ kind: 'file', path: join(home, '.claude/skills/ktx-research/SKILL.md'), role: 'research-skill' as const },
{ kind: 'file', path: join(home, '.claude/rules/ktx.md'), role: 'rule' as const },
];
}
if (input.target === 'codex') {
const codexHome = process.env.CODEX_HOME ?? join(process.env.HOME ?? '', '.codex');
return [
{ kind: 'file', path: join(codexHome, 'skills/ktx/SKILL.md'), role: 'skill' as const },
{ kind: 'file', path: join(codexHome, 'skills/ktx-research/SKILL.md'), role: 'research-skill' as const },
{ kind: 'file', path: join(codexHome, 'instructions/ktx.md'), role: 'rule' as const },
];
}
if (input.target === 'cursor' || input.target === 'opencode') {
return [];
}
throw new Error(`Global ${input.target} installation is not supported; omit --global.`);
}
```
In `installTarget()`, switch the file content selection to:
```typescript
const content =
entry.role === 'rule'
? ruleInstructionContent({ projectDir: input.projectDir })
: entry.role === 'research-skill'
? await readResearchSkillContent()
: cliInstructionContent({ projectDir: input.projectDir, launcher });
```
- [ ] **Step 6: Run tests to verify the research skill passes**
Run:
```bash
pnpm --filter @ktx/cli exec vitest run src/setup-agents.test.ts
```
Expected: PASS for the research skill install tests. MCP config tests are added in the next task and will fail until implemented.
- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
```bash
git add packages/cli/src/skills/research/SKILL.md packages/cli/scripts/copy-runtime-assets.mjs packages/cli/package.json packages/cli/src/setup-agents.ts packages/cli/src/setup-agents.test.ts
git commit -m "feat(cli): install KTX research skill"
```
## Task 2: Add MCP Client Config Planning And Rendering
**Files:**
- Modify: `packages/cli/src/setup-agents.test.ts`
- Modify: `packages/cli/src/setup-agents.ts`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing MCP config planner tests**
In `packages/cli/src/setup-agents.test.ts`, add these tests before `removes only manifest-listed files`:
```typescript
it('writes Claude Code project MCP config and tracks the json key', async () => {
const io = makeIo();
await expect(
runKtxSetupAgentsStep(

const mcpJson = JSON.parse(await readFile(join(tempDir, '.mcp.json'), 'utf-8')) as {

};
expect(mcpJson.mcpServers.ktx).toEqual({ type: 'http', url: 'http://localhost:7878/mcp' });
expect(await readKtxAgentInstallManifest(tempDir)).toMatchObject({

});
expect(io.stdout()).toContain('Run `ktx mcp start` to enable the configured KTX MCP server.');
});
it('writes Cursor project MCP config', async () => {

target: 'cursor',
scope: 'project',
mode: 'cli',
skipAgents: false,
},
io.io,
);
const cursorJson = JSON.parse(await readFile(join(tempDir, '.cursor/mcp.json'), 'utf-8')) as {
mcpServers: { ktx: { url: string; headers?: Record<string, string> } };
};
expect(cursorJson.mcpServers.ktx).toEqual({ url: 'http://localhost:7878/mcp' });
});
it('prints Codex and opencode snippets without mutating printed-only config files', async () => {
const codexIo = makeIo();
await runKtxSetupAgentsStep(
{

expect(opencodeIo.stdout()).toContain('"type": "remote"');
await expect(readFile(join(tempDir, 'opencode.json'), 'utf-8')).rejects.toThrow();
});
it('uses MCP daemon state for port and token metadata without rendering literal tokens', async () => {

expect(io.stdout()).toContain('Run `ktx mcp start` to enable the configured KTX MCP server.');
} finally {
process.env.KTX_MCP_TOKEN = previousToken;
}
});
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**
Run:
```bash
pnpm --filter @ktx/cli exec vitest run src/setup-agents.test.ts
```
Expected: FAIL because no MCP config writer or snippet renderer exists.
- [ ] **Step 3: Add JSON helpers and MCP endpoint resolution**
In `packages/cli/src/setup-agents.ts`, add `existsSync` and `readKtxMcpDaemonStatus` imports:
```typescript
import { existsSync } from 'node:fs';
import { readKtxMcpDaemonStatus } from './managed-mcp-daemon.js';
```
Add these types and helpers after `type InstallEntry`:
```typescript
interface KtxMcpEndpointInfo {
url: string;
tokenAuth: boolean;
running: boolean;
}
interface KtxMcpClientInstallResult {
entries: InstallEntry[];
snippets: string[];
notices: string[];
}
async function readJsonObject(path: string): Promise<Record<string, unknown>> {
if (!existsSync(path)) return {};
const parsed = JSON.parse(await readFile(path, 'utf-8')) as unknown;
if (!parsed || typeof parsed !== 'object' || Array.isArray(parsed)) {
throw new Error(`Expected JSON object in ${path}`);
}
return parsed as Record<string, unknown>;
}
function objectAtPath(root: Record<string, unknown>, jsonPath: string[]): Record<string, unknown> {
let cursor = root;
for (const segment of jsonPath) {
const current = cursor[segment];
if (!current || typeof current !== 'object' || Array.isArray(current)) {
cursor[segment] = {};
}
cursor = cursor[segment] as Record<string, unknown>;
}
return cursor;
}
async function writeJsonKey(path: string, jsonPath: string[], value: unknown): Promise<void> {
const root = await readJsonObject(path);
const parent = objectAtPath(root, jsonPath.slice(0, -1));
parent[jsonPath.at(-1) as string] = value;
await mkdir(dirname(path), { recursive: true });
await writeFile(path, `${JSON.stringify(root, null, 2)}\n`, 'utf-8');
}
async function resolveMcpEndpoint(projectDir: string): Promise<KtxMcpEndpointInfo> {
const status = await readKtxMcpDaemonStatus({ projectDir }).catch(() => null);
if (status?.kind === 'running') {
return {
url: status.url,
tokenAuth: status.state.tokenAuth,
running: true,
};
}
if (status?.kind === 'stale' && status.state) {
return {
url: `http://${status.state.host}:${status.state.port}/mcp`,
tokenAuth: status.state.tokenAuth || Boolean(process.env.KTX_MCP_TOKEN),
running: false,
};
}
return {
url: 'http://localhost:7878/mcp',
tokenAuth: Boolean(process.env.KTX_MCP_TOKEN),
running: false,
};
}
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Add MCP entry renderers**
Add these helpers after `resolveMcpEndpoint()`:
```typescript
function tokenHeaders(endpoint: KtxMcpEndpointInfo): Record<string, string> | undefined {
return endpoint.tokenAuth ? { Authorization: 'Bearer ${KTX_MCP_TOKEN}' } : undefined;
}
function claudeMcpEntry(endpoint: KtxMcpEndpointInfo): Record<string, unknown> {
return {
type: 'http',
url: endpoint.url,
...(tokenHeaders(endpoint) ? { headers: tokenHeaders(endpoint) } : {}),
};
}
function cursorMcpEntry(endpoint: KtxMcpEndpointInfo): Record<string, unknown> {
return {
url: endpoint.url,
...(tokenHeaders(endpoint) ? { headers: tokenHeaders(endpoint) } : {}),
};
}
function codexSnippet(endpoint: KtxMcpEndpointInfo): string {
if (endpoint.tokenAuth) {
return [
'Codex MCP config does not currently document HTTP headers.',
'Run KTX on loopback without token auth for Codex, or configure headers after Codex documents support.',
].join('\n');
}
return [`[mcp_servers.ktx]`, `url = "${endpoint.url}"`].join('\n');
}
function opencodeSnippet(endpoint: KtxMcpEndpointInfo): string {
return JSON.stringify(
{
mcp: {
ktx: {
type: 'remote',
url: endpoint.url,
enabled: true,
...(tokenHeaders(endpoint) ? { headers: tokenHeaders(endpoint) } : {}),
},
},
},
null,
2,
);
}
function claudeConfigPath(projectDir: string, scope: KtxAgentScope): { path: string; jsonPath: string[] } {
const home = process.env.HOME ?? '';
if (scope === 'global') {
return { path: join(home, '.claude.json'), jsonPath: ['mcpServers', 'ktx'] };
}
if (scope === 'local') {
return { path: join(home, '.claude.json'), jsonPath: ['projects', resolve(projectDir), 'mcpServers', 'ktx'] };
}
return { path: join(resolve(projectDir), '.mcp.json'), jsonPath: ['mcpServers', 'ktx'] };
}
function cursorConfigPath(projectDir: string, scope: KtxAgentScope): { path: string; jsonPath: string[] } {
const home = process.env.HOME ?? '';
return {
path: scope === 'global' ? join(home, '.cursor/mcp.json') : join(resolve(projectDir), '.cursor/mcp.json'),
jsonPath: ['mcpServers', 'ktx'],
};
}
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Add the MCP client install planner**
Add this function after the snippet helpers:
```typescript
async function installMcpClientConfig(input: {
projectDir: string;
target: KtxAgentTarget;
scope: KtxAgentScope;
}): Promise<KtxMcpClientInstallResult> {
const endpoint = await resolveMcpEndpoint(input.projectDir);
const entries: InstallEntry[] = [];
const snippets: string[] = [];
const notices: string[] = [];
if (!endpoint.running) {
notices.push('Run `ktx mcp start` to enable the configured KTX MCP server.');
}
if (input.target === 'claude-code') {
const config = claudeConfigPath(input.projectDir, input.scope);
await writeJsonKey(config.path, config.jsonPath, claudeMcpEntry(endpoint));
entries.push({ kind: 'json-key', path: config.path, jsonPath: config.jsonPath });
} else if (input.target === 'cursor') {
const config = cursorConfigPath(input.projectDir, input.scope);
await writeJsonKey(config.path, config.jsonPath, cursorMcpEntry(endpoint));
entries.push({ kind: 'json-key', path: config.path, jsonPath: config.jsonPath });
} else if (input.target === 'codex') {
snippets.push(`Codex MCP snippet for ~/.codex/config.toml:\n${codexSnippet(endpoint)}`);
} else if (input.target === 'opencode') {
const path =
input.scope === 'global' ? '~/.config/opencode/opencode.json' : `${relative(input.projectDir, join(input.projectDir, 'opencode.json'))}`;
snippets.push(`opencode MCP snippet for ${path}:\n${opencodeSnippet(endpoint)}`);
}
return { entries, snippets, notices };
}
```
- [ ] **Step 6: Call the MCP planner during setup**
Keep `installTarget()` responsible only for writing agent files and returning those file entries.
In `runKtxSetupAgentsStep()`, replace the current install loop:
```typescript
const entries: InstallEntry[] = [];
for (const install of installs) entries.push(...(await installTarget({ projectDir: args.projectDir, ...install })));
```
with:
```typescript
const entries: InstallEntry[] = [];
const snippets: string[] = [];
const notices = new Set<string>();
for (const install of installs) {
entries.push(...(await installTarget({ projectDir: args.projectDir, ...install })));
const mcpResult = await installMcpClientConfig({ projectDir: args.projectDir, target: install.target, scope: install.scope });
entries.push(...mcpResult.entries);
for (const snippet of mcpResult.snippets) snippets.push(snippet);
for (const notice of mcpResult.notices) notices.add(notice);
}
```
After the install summary write:
```typescript
for (const snippet of snippets) {
io.stdout.write(`\n${snippet}\n`);
}
for (const notice of notices) {
io.stdout.write(`\n${notice}\n`);
}
```
- [ ] **Step 7: Run tests to verify MCP config passes**
Run:
```bash
pnpm --filter @ktx/cli exec vitest run src/setup-agents.test.ts
```
Expected: PASS for research-skill and MCP config tests.
- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
```bash
git add packages/cli/src/setup-agents.ts packages/cli/src/setup-agents.test.ts
git commit -m "feat(cli): configure MCP clients in setup agents"
```
## Task 3: Add Claude Local Scope
**Files:**
- Modify: `packages/cli/src/commands/setup-commands.ts`
- Modify: `packages/cli/src/setup-agents.ts`
- Modify: `packages/cli/src/setup-agents.test.ts`
- Modify: `packages/cli/src/setup.test.ts`
- Modify: `packages/cli/src/index.test.ts`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing local-scope tests**
Add this test to `packages/cli/src/setup-agents.test.ts`:
```typescript
it('writes Claude Code local MCP config under the project key in ~/.claude.json', async () => {
const home = await mkdtemp(join(tmpdir(), 'ktx-setup-agents-home-'));
const previousHome = process.env.HOME;
process.env.HOME = home;
try {
const io = makeIo();
await runKtxSetupAgentsStep(
{
projectDir: tempDir,
inputMode: 'disabled',
yes: true,
agents: true,
target: 'claude-code',
scope: 'local',
mode: 'cli',
skipAgents: false,
},
io.io,
);
const config = JSON.parse(await readFile(join(home, '.claude.json'), 'utf-8')) as {
projects: Record<string, { mcpServers: { ktx: { type: string; url: string } } }>;
};
expect(config.projects[tempDir].mcpServers.ktx).toEqual({ type: 'http', url: 'http://localhost:7878/mcp' });
} finally {
process.env.HOME = previousHome;
await rm(home, { recursive: true, force: true });
}
});
```
Add these command-level tests after the existing `dispatches setup agent flags` test in `packages/cli/src/index.test.ts`:
```typescript
it('rejects --local with non-Claude targets', async () => {
const setup = vi.fn(async () => 0);
const setupIo = makeIo();
await expect(
runKtxCli(
['--project-dir', tempDir, 'setup', '--agents', '--target', 'cursor', '--local', '--no-input'],
setupIo.io,
{ setup },
),
).resolves.toBe(0);
expect(setupIo.stderr()).toContain('--local is only supported with --target claude-code');
expect(setup).not.toHaveBeenCalled();
});
it('rejects --local and --global together', async () => {
const setup = vi.fn(async () => 0);
const setupIo = makeIo();
await expect(
runKtxCli(
['--project-dir', tempDir, 'setup', '--agents', '--target', 'claude-code', '--local', '--global', '--no-input'],
setupIo.io,
{ setup },
),
).resolves.toBe(0);
expect(setupIo.stderr()).toContain('Choose only one agent scope: --local or --global.');
expect(setup).not.toHaveBeenCalled();
});
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**
Run:
```bash
pnpm --filter @ktx/cli exec vitest run src/setup-agents.test.ts src/index.test.ts
```
Expected: FAIL because `KtxAgentScope` does not include `local` and the setup command has no `--local` option.
- [ ] **Step 3: Add the local scope type and command option**
In `packages/cli/src/setup-agents.ts`, change:
```typescript
export type KtxAgentScope = 'project' | 'global';
```
to:
```typescript
export type KtxAgentScope = 'project' | 'global' | 'local';
```
In `packages/cli/src/commands/setup-commands.ts`, add `local` to `isOnlyAgentOptions()`:
```typescript
'local',
```
Add the command option after `--global`:
```typescript
.option('--local', 'Install Claude Code MCP config into the private per-project ~/.claude.json scope', false)
```
In the setup action before `const mode = ...`, add:
```typescript
if (options.local && options.global) {
context.io.stderr.write('Choose only one agent scope: --local or --global.\n');
context.setExitCode(1);
return;
}
if (options.local && options.target && options.target !== 'claude-code') {
context.io.stderr.write('--local is only supported with --target claude-code.\n');
context.setExitCode(1);
return;
}
```
Replace:
```typescript
const resolvedAgentScope = options.global ? 'global' : 'project';
```
with:
```typescript
const resolvedAgentScope = options.local ? 'local' : options.global ? 'global' : 'project';
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run local-scope tests**
Run:
```bash
pnpm --filter @ktx/cli exec vitest run src/setup-agents.test.ts src/index.test.ts
```
Expected: PASS for the new local-scope coverage.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add packages/cli/src/commands/setup-commands.ts packages/cli/src/setup-agents.ts packages/cli/src/setup-agents.test.ts packages/cli/src/setup.test.ts packages/cli/src/index.test.ts
git commit -m "feat(cli): support Claude local MCP setup scope"
```
## Task 4: Final Verification
**Files:**
- Verify all files changed in Tasks 1-3.
- [ ] **Step 1: Run focused CLI tests**
Run:
```bash
pnpm --filter @ktx/cli exec vitest run src/setup-agents.test.ts src/commands/mcp-commands.test.ts src/mcp-http-server.test.ts src/managed-mcp-daemon.test.ts
```
Expected: all selected test files pass.
- [ ] **Step 2: Run CLI type-check**
Run:
```bash
pnpm --filter @ktx/cli run type-check
```
Expected: TypeScript completes with no errors.
- [ ] **Step 3: Run CLI build**
Run:
```bash
pnpm --filter @ktx/cli run build
```
Expected: build succeeds and `packages/cli/dist/skills/research/SKILL.md` exists.
- [ ] **Step 4: Run dead-code check for the changed TypeScript surface**
Run:
```bash
pnpm run dead-code
```
Expected: Biome and Knip complete with no new findings from the setup-agent changes.
- [ ] **Step 5: Inspect git status**
Run:
```bash
git status --short
```
Expected: only intended setup-agent, skill asset, package script, and test files are modified.
## Self-Review
Spec coverage:
- Covers `ktx-research` skill installation paths for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, and universal project targets.
- Covers Claude Code and Cursor JSON MCP writers.
- Covers Codex and opencode printed snippets.
- Covers token handling with `${KTX_MCP_TOKEN}` and no literal token rendering.
- Covers `.ktx/mcp.json` port selection and daemon-start hint.
- Covers manifest tracking for written JSON keys and removal through existing `json-key` cleanup.
Known v1 gap not covered by this plan:
- Ingest warehouse-verification contract convergence from `connectionName` to `connectionId`, shared service extraction, and caller/test updates remains v1-blocking and needs its own focused plan after this setup-agent slice lands.
