Summary

netlify init now sets up the Netlify MCP server for the AI coding agents it finds: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Kiro CLI, Windsurf and Cline. At project scope, the default, it writes the entry into each agent's own project config file after checking for an existing Netlify server. Claude is the exception: it has a per-project command, so init runs claude mcp add --scope local and nothing lands in the repo. --mcp-scope user widens setup to all projects, where Claude and Codex run their own CLIs and every other agent gets a printed npx -y add-mcp@2.4.1 command.

Agent	Project scope (default)	--mcp-scope user
Claude Code	runs claude mcp add --scope local	runs claude mcp add --scope user
Codex	appends [mcp_servers.netlify] to .codex/config.toml	runs codex mcp add
GitHub Copilot CLI	writes .mcp.json (mcpServers, type: http)	prints add-mcp -g
Cursor	writes .cursor/mcp.json (mcpServers)	prints add-mcp -g
VS Code	writes .vscode/mcp.json (servers, type: http)	prints code --add-mcp
Gemini CLI	writes .gemini/settings.json (mcpServers, type: http)	prints gemini mcp add --scope user
Kiro CLI	writes .kiro/settings/mcp.json (mcpServers)	prints add-mcp -g
OpenCode	writes opencode.jsonc (mcp, type: remote)	prints add-mcp -g
Windsurf, Cline	not offered: no per-project config	prints add-mcp -g

Gemini's entry is url with type: "http", the shape its own gemini mcp add --transport http writes; Gemini's older httpUrl key is marked deprecated in its source. When init can't edit the file, or at user scope, it prints that gemini mcp add command rather than add-mcp, so the file and the command agree. Codex reads .codex/config.toml only once the project is trusted, and init says so after writing it. Copilot CLI's .mcp.json is also read by Claude Code, which shows the entry as a project server pending approval; that's harmless, and the existing-server check ignores pending servers.

How a config file is written. init changes nothing in a file but the netlify entry it adds. JSON (and JSONC) is parsed with jsonc-parser, which gives the position of the server map, and the new property is spliced in after the last existing one, so comments, trailing commas, one-line arrays and every other byte stay as they were. The result is re-parsed before writing. A missing file is created. Where an agent accepts more than one file name, every one the project has is read for the existing-server check (OpenCode: opencode.json or the .opencode/ variants; Copilot: .github/mcp.json), the entry goes to the first, and the default is created only when none exists. .codex/config.toml is never rewritten: the table is appended and the result re-parsed first, so an inline mcp_servers table is refused. A file is also refused when it isn't valid JSON, when a .mcp.json is in Copilot's bare format (servers at the top level), when the server key isn't an object, or when the path resolves through a symlink to somewhere outside the project. A refusal prints the agent's command with the reason, saves nothing, and leaves the agent to be offered again next run. Existing entries under the file's server key go through the same rules as the Claude check: our URL means "already there", any other Netlify server means "kept"; an entry that's turned off (enabled: false) is reported as such and left off. Files are written atomically (temp file and rename), so a crash mid-write can't leave a truncated config.

When a person runs init in a terminal, they get a checkbox of agents that support the chosen scope. Agents found from the editor terminal or project folders are preticked; other installed agent CLIs are listed unticked.

• A tick writes the agent's project file (or runs Claude's command) and says which file it wrote and that it should be committed only if everyone on the project should get it. When the file can't be edited, the agent's own command is printed instead (gemini mcp add for Gemini, add-mcp for the rest) and nothing is saved, so the agent is offered again next run.
• Windsurf and Cline have no per-project config, so they're left out at project scope and only offered with --mcp-scope user. -g is never printed at project scope.
• With --mcp-scope user, Claude and Codex run their own CLIs after the existing-server check. VS Code can't be checked first, so its command is printed with a note that running it replaces an existing netlify entry. The other agents, OpenCode included, get the add-mcp command with -g.
• Answers are saved in .netlify/state.json under agentMcpSetup.<scope>.<agent>, as accepted, declined or kept (an existing server left alone). A rerun only asks about new agents, and each scope keeps its own answer. --reset-mcp-setup asks again.

When an agent runs init, an agent init knows (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and the others in MCP_AGENTS) gets no prompt. That agent's project file is written (or, for Claude, its command run) after the existing-server check; if the check fails, nothing is installed. A saved "no" for that scope is honored, and nothing goes user-wide without --mcp-scope user. With --reset-mcp-setup, the saved "no" is skipped for that run and replaced once the server is added or already there. That's the only time an agent run writes .netlify/state.json; a failed add or a printed command leaves it untouched. An agent init doesn't know gets the checkbox when a terminal is attached; without one, it gets the generic add-mcp command with how to run it without its questions (-y -a <agent>, list-agents).

Existing servers are left alone. Claude is checked with claude mcp list (every scope and plugin servers; servers still pending .mcp.json approval don't count), Codex with codex mcp list --json. With --mcp-scope user, a Claude entry only counts if claude mcp get reports it at user scope, and Codex is checked from the home folder so project config isn't read. The hosted URL is matched exactly. Any netlify or plugin:*:netlify server, a Netlify MCP host, or @netlify/mcp counts as an existing Netlify server, under any name, and is reported instead of duplicated.

Skills and MCP are skipped when init runs from the file system root. From the home directory, skills are skipped, and MCP is too unless --mcp-scope user is passed. Agent CLIs are found only through absolute PATH entries, using isexe.

Tests

• npm exec vitest -- run tests/unit/utils/init/: 150 passed, including the config writes against real files: a Cursor file keeps its other servers, 4-space formatting, a one-line array and CRLF line endings; a commented opencode.jsonc keeps its comments; an existing or other Netlify entry is left alone (also in .github/mcp.json, and when it's turned off); an existing opencode.json gets the entry and no opencode.jsonc appears, and both OpenCode files are read when present; a bare .mcp.json, a non-object mcpServers, a .cursor symlink outside the project and an inline Codex table are refused; the Gemini fallback prints gemini mcp add; and saving and resetting against a real .netlify/state.json
• npm exec vitest -- run tests/integration/commands/init/init.test.ts: 21 passed, using a fake claude on PATH, including init from the home directory (with and without --mcp-scope user), a saved "no" held until --reset-mcp-setup, and a Gemini agent run that writes .gemini/settings.json once and reports it present on the rerun
• typecheck, lint, format:check and docs regeneration are clean
• Reviews: fresh full-PR reviews found nothing blocking. The config-file writes got a fresh review and a second pass briefed to refute it before pushing.

Risk

• claude mcp list health-checks every approved server and can take up to 30s.
• An agent init knows skips the prompt even with a terminal attached, which Copilot and Cursor need since they run commands in the editor's terminal. A person whose shell sets NETLIFY_AGENT or CLAUDE_CODE_CHILD_SESSION=1 gets Claude configured for the project without being asked.
• Saved choices go in the nearest .netlify/state.json, which can be an ancestor folder's in a monorepo.
• Windows runs the unit tests, including the relative-PATH ones and the config writes; the integration tests that need the shell-script fake claude skip there, and the Gemini config-write test runs.
• jsonc-parser 3.3.1 is a new runtime dependency (MIT, no dependencies of its own; the parser VS Code uses). It only locates nodes here; the text splice is ours, so the failed fallback covers anything it can't place.
• The file paths and entry shapes come from each agent's docs and add-mcp 2.4.1. An agent that changes its format later gets a file it doesn't read; the printed fallback and --reset-mcp-setup are the way out until the table is updated.
• At user scope, only the first Netlify entry's scope is checked. With our server set for this project only and another Netlify server user-wide under a different name, a second user-wide Netlify entry gets added. That's rare, so it's left unhandled.

Related: #8646 (rerunning init on a project linked without git created a duplicate site) is merged into this branch.

Rollback: revert this PR. Anyone who already has the entry can remove it with claude mcp remove --scope local netlify (--scope user if they used --mcp-scope user), or delete the netlify entry from the agent's project file named in the table.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added MCP server setup options to init, including project or user scope, the ability to skip MCP setup independently, and an option to reset saved setup choices.
  • init can configure MCP support for detected AI coding agents and recognize existing server configurations.
  • Project-scoped setup is skipped in home-directory and filesystem-root locations; user-scoped MCP setup remains available.
• Documentation
  • Updated the init command documentation with the new options and clarified what --skip-agent-setup skips.

The init command adds options to configure the Netlify MCP server for supported AI agents, select project or user scope, skip MCP setup, and reset saved setup choices. The change adds agent discovery, server lookup, selection, and choice persistence. Setup checks the project location before installing skills or configuring MCP. Documentation and tests cover the options and setup behavior.

[seancdavis]

[blocking] An agent-driven run adds the server at user scope with no prompt, and ignores a saved "declined".

Say someone unticks Claude Code in the checkbox, then later Claude Code runs netlify init for them. It gets added anyway. --reset-mcp-setup doesn't reach this branch either. And the header in agent-detection.ts says its result is "never for authorization" — this is the thing deciding whether to write to someone's user config.

[seancdavis]

[blocking] On Windows this can run a claude.cmd (or codex.cmd, code.cmd) from the project folder instead of the one on PATH.

execa goes through cross-spawn, which resolves the command from cwd, and the Windows lookup checks the current directory before PATH. So a repo with a claude.cmd at the root runs it when someone runs netlify init in their clone, without a prompt if an agent is driving.

[seancdavis]

[blocking] Does opencode mcp add take a name and --url? The OpenCode CLI docs show it as an interactive wizard with no flags, and the tests mock execa, so nothing here runs the real thing.

[seancdavis]

[consider] Any existing netlify entry counts as present, whatever URL it points at, and in the checkbox flow that gets saved as accepted, so they're not asked again. Only the legacy host gets a note.

[seancdavis]

[consider] Every run without the fake claude adds --skip-mcp-setup, so nothing checks that --skip-agent-setup on its own now skips MCP too. --reset-mcp-setup is only tested by calling setupAgentMcp directly, not through the command.

[seancdavis]

[consider] This is a third list of agents to keep in step, next to AGENT_DIRECTORY_BY_DRIVING_AGENT in agent-skills.ts and the name table in agent-detection.ts, with drivenBy mapping between them by hand.

[seancdavis]

[consider] This is a hand-rolled which, PATHEXT and all. I didn't find an existing helper for it, so it's cross-platform code we'd own from here.

[seancdavis]

[nit] shellQuote uses POSIX single quotes, so the printed code --add-mcp '{...}' fallback won't paste into cmd on Windows.

[seancdavis]

[nit] Other spots check ENOENT with an isErrnoException guard (src/utils/shell.ts:192) rather than a cast.

[seancdavis]

a couple of blockers and then a bunch of other nits

[seancdavis]

Left notes inline. The description's out of date in a few spots too: agent runs do write state.json on a reset, the home directory with --mcp-scope user doesn't skip MCP, and the relative-PATH tests don't skip on Windows anymore.

[seancdavis]

[consider] Only the first Netlify entry gets its scope checked. A project-local netlify plus a user-wide Netlify server under another name comes back none, and a second user-wide entry gets added. cdde3f9 handled this and 49efae0 took it back out, along with its test.

[domitriusclark]

Leaving this out on purpose. It needs our server set for this project only plus another Netlify server user-wide under a different name, which is rare, and the fix cost an extra claude mcp get per entry. It's listed under Risk in the description. If you've seen it happen, I'll put it back.

The integration test for --reset-mcp-setup checks only stdout and the fake claude call log. It never reads .netlify/state.json. If the reset run fails to save the accepted choice, the seeded declined entry remains, and the test still passes.

Add an assertion for the saved choice after the reset run:

🧪 Suggested test assertion

             t.expect((await readFile(claudeBin.calls, 'utf8')).trim().split('\n')).toEqual([
               'mcp list',
               'mcp add --transport http --scope local netlify https://mcp.netlify.com/mcp',
             ])
+            const savedState = JSON.parse(await readFile(path.join(builder.directory, '.netlify', 'state.json'), 'utf8'))
+            t.expect(savedState.agentMcpSetup.project['claude-code']).toEqual({
+              url: 'https://mcp.netlify.com/mcp',

Check the filesystem root before the home directory.

When the home directory is /, findProjectSetupBlocker returns place: 'home'. setUpAgents then skips the root block, so --mcp-scope user sets up MCP from /. Move the root check above the home check. The reason text also shows the home message at /, so the root check fixes that too.

Forget saved choices for agents that are not detected on an interactive reset.

--reset-mcp-setup must forget the saved choices for the active scope. The interactive reset path only handles detected candidates. A saved accepted, declined, or kept entry for an agent that is not detected stays in .netlify/state.json. When that agent is installed later, the entry hides it from the prompt on a later run.

Clear the entries for agents that are not candidates. This includes the case where no agent is detected. Keep the agent-driven path unchanged. A failed add on that path must not write or delete state.

Suggested fix

+const forgetAbsentChoices = (store: McpChoiceStore, scope: McpScope, candidates: AgentCandidate[]): void => {
+  for (const agent of MCP_AGENTS) {
+    const key = savedChoiceKey(agent, scope)
+    if (!candidates.some((candidate) => candidate.agent.id === agent.id) && store.get(key) !== undefined) {
+      store.delete(key)
+    }
+  }
+}

   const candidates = await findCandidates(workingDir, env, scope)

+    forgetAbsentChoices(store, scope, candidates)
+  }
   if (candidates.length === 0) {
     return { selection: 'none', agents: [] }
   }

Workaround: run the reset again while the agent is detected.

[consider] Have you seen Codex pick up an entry written here? Last time you couldn't get a project entry to show up on codex-cli 0.158.0, even in a trusted folder, and init reports this one as added.

[domitriusclark]

I haven't seen it load one. Codex's config reference says project .codex/config.toml is read only for a trusted project, and codex mcp list didn't show project entries on 0.158.0, so I can't confirm it from the list command. 96e187a adds "Codex reads it once this project is trusted" after the added line.

[consider] The description says keeping comments would need a JSONC editor as a dependency, but comment-json is already one. src/recipes/vscode/settings.ts uses it to edit VS Code settings without dropping comments.

Went with jsonc-parser instead (new dependency, 3.3.1). comment-json keeps comments but re-serializes the file, so the one-line arrays from your other comment would still get expanded. jsonc-parser gives the node offsets, and the insertion leaves everything else byte-identical. Happy to switch if you'd rather not add it.

Review comments at @src/utils/init/agent-mcp-config.ts:
- Line 58: Update the target construction used by classify to identify Netlify
from the server’s connection and launch information rather than every string in
the entry, so unrelated environment values cannot trigger a match. Preserve
detection of launch commands such as npx -y @netlify/mcp.

Review comments at @src/utils/init/agent-mcp.ts:
- Line 562: Skip lookUpExisting for project-scoped agents that use
agent.projectFile and have no native add command, so a failed or unparseable
native lookup cannot prevent setup. Let addToProjectFile perform the
project-scoped existing-server check, while preserving native lookup for other
paths.

Review comments at @tests/unit/utils/init/agent-mcp.test.ts:
- Around line 463-467: Update the symlink setup in the “refuses a config file
that is a symlink to somewhere outside the project” test to use a junction on
Windows and retain the existing symlink behavior on other platforms, preserving
the test’s outside-project path check.
