+**Flow:**
+1. User defines `mcpServers` in `.ai-devkit.json` directly or via a YAML template (`ai-devkit init -t`)
+2. `ai-devkit install` reads `mcpServers` from config
+3. `McpConfigGenerator` dispatches to per-agent generators based on `config.environments`
+4. Each generator reads the existing agent config (if any), computes a diff, and prompts the user before writing
+
+## Data Models
+
+### Universal MCP Server Schema (in `.ai-devkit.json`)
+
+```typescript
+// Added to DevKitConfig
+interface DevKitConfig {
+  // ... existing fields ...
+  mcpServers?: Record<string, McpServerDefinition>;
+}
+
+// Universal MCP server definition
+interface McpServerDefinition {
+  // Transport type
+  transport: 'stdio' | 'http' | 'sse';
+
+  // stdio transport fields
+  command?: string;                    // Required for stdio
+  args?: string[];                     // Optional for stdio
+  env?: Record<string, string>;        // Optional environment variables
+
+  // http/sse transport fields
+  url?: string;                        // Required for http/sse
+  headers?: Record<string, string>;    // Optional HTTP headers (auth, etc.)
+}
+```
+
+### Template Schema Extension
+
+```typescript
+// Added to InitTemplateConfig
+interface InitTemplateConfig {
+  // ... existing fields ...
+  mcpServers?: Record<string, McpServerDefinition>;
+}
+```
+
+### Example `.ai-devkit.json`
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": "0.5.0",
+  "environments": ["claude", "codex"],
+  "phases": ["requirements", "design", "planning", "implementation", "testing"],

+
+### Example YAML Template
+
+```yaml
+environments:
+  - claude
+  - codex
+phases:
+  - requirements
+  - design
+  - planning
+  - implementation
+  - testing
+skills:
+  - registry: codeaholicguy/ai-devkit

+  memory:
+    transport: stdio
+    command: npx

+      MEMORY_DB_PATH: "./memory.db"
+  notion:
+    transport: http
+    url: https://mcp.notion.com/mcp
+```
+
+## Agent-Specific Output Formats
+
+### Claude Code (`.mcp.json`)
+
+stdio servers omit the `type` field (inferred). HTTP/SSE servers use `"type": "http"` or `"type": "sse"`.
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "memory": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@ai-devkit/memory"],
+      "env": { "MEMORY_DB_PATH": "./memory.db" }
+    },
+    "notion": {
+      "type": "http",
+      "url": "https://mcp.notion.com/mcp"
+    },
+    "secure-api": {
+      "type": "http",
+      "url": "https://api.example.com/mcp",
+      "headers": {
+        "Authorization": "Bearer ${API_KEY}"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Mapping rules (universal → Claude Code):**
+- `transport: "stdio"` → omit `type`, emit `command`/`args`/`env`
+- `transport: "http"` → `"type": "http"`, emit `url`/`headers`
+- `transport: "sse"` → `"type": "sse"`, emit `url`/`headers`
+- `headers` → `headers` (direct pass-through)
+
+### Codex (`.codex/config.toml`)
+
+```toml
+[mcp_servers.memory]
+command = "npx"
+args = ["-y", "@ai-devkit/memory"]
+
+[mcp_servers.memory.env]
+MEMORY_DB_PATH = "./memory.db"
+
+[mcp_servers.notion]
+url = "https://mcp.notion.com/mcp"
+
+[mcp_servers.secure-api]
+url = "https://api.example.com/mcp"
+
+[mcp_servers.secure-api.http_headers]
+Authorization = "Bearer ${API_KEY}"
+```
+
+**Mapping rules (universal → Codex):**
+- `transport: "stdio"` → emit `command`/`args`; `env` as `[mcp_servers.<name>.env]` table
+- `transport: "http"` or `"sse"` → emit `url`; `headers` as `[mcp_servers.<name>.http_headers]` table
+- Codex-specific fields (`startup_timeout_sec`, `enabled_tools`, etc.) are not generated in v1
+
+## Component Breakdown
+
+### 1. Schema & Validation (`types.ts` + `InitTemplate.ts`)
+- `McpTransport` type and `McpServerDefinition` interface in `types.ts`
+- `mcpServers` added to `DevKitConfig` (optional)
+- `mcpServers` added to `InitTemplateConfig` and `ALLOWED_TEMPLATE_FIELDS`
+- Validation extracted to `validateMcpServers()` and `validateStringRecord()` helpers
+- Validate: transport required (`stdio`|`http`|`sse`), stdio requires `command`, http/sse requires `url`, `headers` optional for http/sse
+
+### 2. ConfigManager (`lib/Config.ts`)
+- No code changes needed — existing generic `update()`/`read()` handles `mcpServers` via the updated `DevKitConfig` type
+
+### 3. MCP Generators (`services/install/mcp/`)
+
+```
+services/install/mcp/
+├── index.ts                    # Re-exports: installMcpServers, McpInstallOptions, McpInstallReport
+├── types.ts                    # McpAgentGenerator interface, McpMergePlan, McpInstallReport
+├── BaseMcpGenerator.ts         # Abstract base: shared plan() + apply() diff-and-merge logic
+├── McpConfigGenerator.ts       # Orchestrator: dispatch to generators, conflict resolution, CI mode
+├── ClaudeCodeMcpGenerator.ts   # .mcp.json: toAgentFormat + read/write JSON
+└── CodexMcpGenerator.ts        # .codex/config.toml: toAgentFormat + read/write TOML
+```
+
+**Key interfaces:**
+```typescript
+interface McpAgentGenerator {
+  readonly agentType: EnvironmentCode;
+  plan(servers: Record<string, McpServerDefinition>, projectRoot: string): Promise<McpMergePlan>;
+  apply(plan: McpMergePlan, servers: Record<string, McpServerDefinition>, projectRoot: string): Promise<void>;
+}
+
+interface McpMergePlan {
+  agentType: EnvironmentCode;
+  newServers: string[];
+  conflictServers: string[];
+  skippedServers: string[];
+  resolvedConflicts: string[];  // filled after user prompt or --overwrite
+}
+```
+
+**`BaseMcpGenerator`** provides shared `plan()` and `apply()` logic. Subclasses implement three abstract methods:
+- `toAgentFormat(def)` — convert universal schema to agent-native format
+- `readExistingServers(projectRoot)` — read and parse agent config file
+- `writeServers(projectRoot, mergedServers)` — serialize and write back
+
+### 4. Merge & Conflict Resolution
+- **Comparison**: `deepEqual()` (shared util at `util/object.ts`) on agent-format output
+- **Interactive mode**: prompt user with skip all / overwrite all / choose per server
+- **Non-interactive (CI)**: `--overwrite` flag → overwrite all; default → skip all conflicts
+- **TTY detection**: `isInteractiveTerminal()` (shared util at `util/terminal.ts`)
+- **Preservation**: both generators read the full config, modify only MCP server entries, and preserve all other content
+
+### 5. Install Service Extension (`services/install/install.service.ts`)
+- Calls `installMcpServers()` after skills install, passing `{ overwrite }` from CLI options
+- Uses union of existing + newly installed environments to determine which generators to run
+- `McpInstallReport` added to `InstallReport` (installed/skipped/conflicts/failed counts)
+- Persists `mcpServers` to `.ai-devkit.json` via `configManager.update()`
+
+### 6. Install Config Validation (`util/config.ts`)
+- `mcpServers` added to `InstallConfigData` with Zod schema validation
+- Defaults to `{}` when absent — existing configs work unchanged
+
+### 7. Init Command (`commands/init.ts`)
+- Persists `mcpServers` from template to `.ai-devkit.json` after skills install
+- Displays count and suggests running `ai-devkit install` to generate agent configs
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+| Decision | Choice | Rationale |
+|----------|--------|-----------|
+| Config location | `mcpServers` in `.ai-devkit.json` | Single source of truth, no new files |
+| Transport field | Explicit `transport: 'stdio' \| 'http' \| 'sse'` | Clear intent, easy validation; maps to agent-specific format per generator |
+| `http` naming | Use `http` not `streamable-http` | Matches Claude Code's `type: "http"` convention; shorter; the MCP spec calls it "Streamable HTTP" but agents use `http` |
+| SSE support | Include but mark deprecated | SSE is deprecated in MCP spec (replaced by streamable-http) but some servers still use it |
+| Merge strategy | Additive with prompt on conflict | Prevents data loss, respects user customizations |
+| CI / non-interactive | Skip conflicts by default, overwrite with `--overwrite` | Safe default for CI pipelines; no hanging prompts |
+| TOML library | `smol-toml` | Codex config needs both read and write; `smol-toml` handles nested tables correctly |
+| Generator pattern | Abstract base class + subclasses | Shared plan/apply logic in `BaseMcpGenerator`; subclasses only provide format-specific I/O |
+| Scope | Project-level only | `.mcp.json` for Claude Code, `.codex/config.toml` for Codex — no user-level configs |
+
+## Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- **Performance**: Config generation is fast (file I/O only, no network)
+- **Safety**: Never silently overwrite existing configs; prompt in interactive mode, skip in CI
+- **Extensibility**: Adding a new agent generator requires only a new subclass of `BaseMcpGenerator`

+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Core Features
+
+**McpServerDefinition validation:** Manual validation in `InitTemplate.ts` matching existing patterns. Extracted to `validateMcpServers()` and `validateStringRecord()` helpers. Validates transport (`stdio`|`http`|`sse`), `command` required for stdio, `url` required for http/sse. Also validated via Zod in `util/config.ts` for the install path.
+
+**Generator architecture:**
+- `BaseMcpGenerator` — abstract base with shared `plan()` and `apply()` diff-and-merge logic
+- Subclasses implement 3 abstract methods: `toAgentFormat()`, `readExistingServers()`, `writeServers()`
+- `McpConfigGenerator` — orchestrator that dispatches to generators and handles conflict resolution
+
+**Conflict resolution (interactive vs CI):**
+- Interactive (TTY): `inquirer` prompt — skip all / overwrite all / choose per server
+- Non-interactive: `--overwrite` → overwrite all; default → skip all (no hanging prompts)
+- Detection via shared `isInteractiveTerminal()` in `util/terminal.ts`
+
+### Patterns & Best Practices
+
+- Abstract base class eliminates duplicated plan/apply logic between generators
+- Follows existing `install.service.ts` report structure (`installed`/`skipped`/`failed` counts)
+- Follows existing `InitTemplate.ts` validation patterns (manual validation, clear field-path error messages)
+- `inquirer` for interactive prompts (already a dependency)
+- `fullConfig` instance field in each generator preserves non-MCP content between read → write
+
+## Integration Points
+
+- `ConfigManager.read()` → returns `mcpServers` from `.ai-devkit.json` (no code changes needed)
+- `InitTemplate.loadInitTemplate()` → validates and returns `mcpServers` from template
+- `reconcileAndInstall()` → calls `installMcpServers()` after skills section, passes `{ overwrite }` from CLI
+- `installCommand()` → reports MCP results in install summary
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- Invalid `mcpServers` in template → validation error with field path (e.g., `"mcpServers.memory.command" is required for stdio transport`)
+- Existing config file parse failure → treat as empty (catch block), don't block install
+- Generator failure → report as failed in `McpInstallReport`, continue with other agents
+- Overall MCP failure → push to `report.warnings`, don't affect exit code for environment/phase failures

+
+# Planning: MCP Config Standardization
+
+## Milestones
+
+- [x] Milestone 1: Schema & validation (types, template, config)
+- [x] Milestone 2: MCP generators (Claude Code + Codex)
+- [x] Milestone 3: Install integration & merge logic
+- [x] Milestone 4: Tests & validation
+
+## Task Breakdown
+
+### Phase 1: Schema & Types
+
+- [x] Task 1.1: Add `McpServerDefinition` type and `mcpServers` to `DevKitConfig` in `packages/cli/src/types.ts`
+- [x] Task 1.2: Add `mcpServers` to `InitTemplateConfig` in `packages/cli/src/lib/InitTemplate.ts` — add to `ALLOWED_TEMPLATE_FIELDS`, add validation logic (transport required: `stdio`|`http`|`sse`; stdio needs `command`; http/sse needs `url`; optional `headers` for http/sse)
+- [x] Task 1.3: Update `ConfigManager` (`packages/cli/src/lib/Config.ts`) to persist and read `mcpServers` field — no code changes needed, existing generic `update()`/`read()` handles it via updated `DevKitConfig` type
+
+### Phase 2: MCP Config Generators
+
+- [x] Task 2.1: Create `McpAgentGenerator` interface and `McpMergePlan` types at `packages/cli/src/services/install/mcp/types.ts`
+- [x] Task 2.2: Create `McpConfigGenerator` orchestrator at `packages/cli/src/services/install/mcp/McpConfigGenerator.ts` — dispatches to generators, handles conflict prompts via inquirer, calls `apply()`
+- [x] Task 2.3: Create `ClaudeCodeMcpGenerator` at `packages/cli/src/services/install/mcp/ClaudeCodeMcpGenerator.ts` — implements `plan()` (read `.mcp.json`, deep-equal diff) and `apply()` (write merged JSON preserving unmanaged servers)
+- [x] Task 2.4: Create `CodexMcpGenerator` at `packages/cli/src/services/install/mcp/CodexMcpGenerator.ts` — implements `plan()` (read `.codex/config.toml`, diff `mcp_servers.*`) and `apply()` (write merged TOML preserving non-MCP sections)
+- [x] Task 2.5: Add `smol-toml` dependency for TOML read/write in Codex generator
+
+### Phase 3: Install Integration
+
+- [x] Task 3.1: Extend `InstallReport` and `reconcileAndInstall()` in `packages/cli/src/services/install/install.service.ts` to call MCP generators after skills install
+- [x] Task 3.2: Add `mcpServers` to `InstallConfigData` in `packages/cli/src/util/config.ts` so install reads it from `.ai-devkit.json`
+- [x] Task 3.3: Update `init` command (`packages/cli/src/commands/init.ts`) to persist `mcpServers` from template into `.ai-devkit.json`
+- [x] Task 3.4: Update `install` command (`packages/cli/src/commands/install.ts`) to report MCP server results in summary
+
+### Phase 4: Tests
+
+- [x] Task 4.1: Unit tests for `McpServerDefinition` validation in InitTemplate (16 tests)
+- [x] Task 4.2: Unit tests for `ClaudeCodeMcpGenerator` (11 tests — new file, merge, conflict, http/sse mapping)
+- [x] Task 4.3: Unit tests for `CodexMcpGenerator` (8 tests — new file, merge, conflict, TOML output, non-MCP preservation)
+- [x] Task 4.4: Deferred — integration test covered by unit tests; pre-existing install.test.ts has compilation issues unrelated to this feature
+
+### Phase 5: Simplification & CI Support
+
+- [x] Task 5.1: Extract `BaseMcpGenerator` abstract base class — shared `plan()`/`apply()` logic
+- [x] Task 5.2: Extract `validateMcpServers()` and `validateStringRecord()` helpers in `InitTemplate.ts`
+- [x] Task 5.3: Extract `deepEqual()` to `util/object.ts` (shared utility, removed `mcp/util.ts`)
+- [x] Task 5.4: Extract `isInteractiveTerminal()` to `util/terminal.ts` — used by `McpConfigGenerator` and `SkillManager`
+- [x] Task 5.5: Add CI/non-interactive support — `--overwrite` → overwrite all, default → skip conflicts, TTY detection via `isInteractiveTerminal()`
+- [x] Task 5.6: Fix `index.ts` `export type` → regular `export` for babel compatibility
+
+## Summary
+
+**Total: 20 tasks completed across 5 phases. Build passes. 407 tests pass (35 new).**
+
+## Resources Needed
+
+- `smol-toml` npm package (for TOML read/write in Codex generator) — installed

+title: "MCP Config Standardization"
+description: "Standardize MCP server configuration across AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) via a universal definition in .ai-devkit.json / YAML templates"
+---
+
+# Requirements: MCP Config Standardization
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Different AI agents define MCP (Model Context Protocol) server configurations in incompatible formats and locations:
+
+- **Claude Code**: `.mcp.json` (JSON, project-level)
+- **Codex**: `.codex/config.toml` (TOML, project-level)
+- Other agents have their own formats (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
+
+When a team uses multiple agents or switches between them, they must manually create and maintain separate MCP config files for each agent. This is error-prone, duplicative, and violates DRY principles. There is no single source of truth for "which MCP servers does this project use?"
+
+## Goals & Objectives
+
+**Primary goals:**
+- Define a universal MCP server configuration schema within `.ai-devkit.json` (and YAML init templates)
+- Generate agent-specific MCP config files from the universal definition via `ai-devkit install`
+- Support `ai-devkit init -t <template>` to include MCP servers from a template
+
+**Secondary goals:**
+- Support all current MCP transport types: `stdio`, `http` (streamable-http), and `sse` (deprecated, for backwards compatibility)
+- Parse existing agent MCP configs to prevent accidental overwrites — always prompt before updating
+
+**Non-goals:**
+- Runtime MCP server management (starting/stopping servers)
+- MCP protocol implementation (already handled by `@ai-devkit/memory`)
+- Supporting all 11 environments in the first iteration — focus on Claude Code and Codex
+- Per-environment overrides (single universal definition in v1)
+- Adding generated files to `.gitignore` (left to user)
+
+## User Stories & Use Cases
+
+1. **As a developer using multiple AI agents**, I want to define my MCP servers once in `.ai-devkit.json` so that all my agents share the same configuration.
+
+2. **As a team lead**, I want to include MCP server definitions in a shared YAML template (like `senior-engineer.yaml`) so that `ai-devkit init -t senior-engineer.yaml` sets up MCP configs for all team members.
+
+3. **As a developer running `ai-devkit install`**, I want the tool to generate `.mcp.json` for Claude Code and `.codex/config.toml` for Codex from my universal config, without overwriting any custom servers I've already added to those files.
+
+4. **As a developer with existing MCP configs**, I want `ai-devkit install` to detect conflicts and ask me before modifying my agent-specific config files.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] `mcpServers` key is accepted in `.ai-devkit.json` and YAML init templates
+- [ ] `ai-devkit init -t <template>` persists `mcpServers` from template into `.ai-devkit.json`
+- [ ] `ai-devkit install` generates `.mcp.json` for Claude Code from `mcpServers`
+- [ ] `ai-devkit install` generates `.codex/config.toml` for Codex from `mcpServers`
+- [ ] Existing agent configs are parsed and merged — user is prompted before any overwrites
+- [ ] Transport types `stdio`, `http` (streamable-http), and `sse` (deprecated) are supported
+- [ ] Validation errors for malformed `mcpServers` entries produce clear messages
+
+## Constraints & Assumptions
+
+**Technical constraints:**
+- Must fit within the existing `ConfigManager` / `InitTemplate` / `install.service` architecture
+- TOML generation for Codex requires a TOML serialization library (or hand-rolled for the simple structure)
+- Agent-specific config formats may change upstream — generators should be isolated per-agent for easy updates
+
+**Assumptions:**
+- Claude Code `.mcp.json` schema (confirmed from docs):
+  - stdio: `{ "mcpServers": { "<name>": { "command": "...", "args": [...], "env": {...} } } }`
+  - http (streamable-http): `{ "mcpServers": { "<name>": { "type": "http", "url": "...", "headers": {...} } } }`
+  - sse (deprecated): `{ "mcpServers": { "<name>": { "type": "sse", "url": "..." } } }`
+  - Note: stdio is inferred when no `type` field; `type: "http"` for streamable-http; `type: "sse"` for legacy SSE
+- Codex `.codex/config.toml` schema (confirmed from https://developers.openai.com/codex/mcp):
+  - stdio: `[mcp_servers.<name>]` with `command`, `args`, `env`, `env_vars`, `cwd`
+  - http (streamable-http): `[mcp_servers.<name>]` with `url`, `bearer_token_env_var`, `http_headers`, `env_http_headers`
+  - Both support: `startup_timeout_sec`, `tool_timeout_sec`, `enabled`, `required`, `enabled_tools`, `disabled_tools`
+- Single universal definition — no per-environment overrides in v1
+- Project-level config only (not user-level `~/.claude.json` or `~/.codex/config.toml`)
+
+## Questions & Open Items
+
+- [x] ~~Confirm exact Codex TOML schema for MCP servers~~ — Confirmed via https://developers.openai.com/codex/mcp
+- [x] ~~Confirm Claude Code `.mcp.json` schema~~ — Confirmed via https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp; uses `type` field for http/sse
+- [x] ~~Which transports to support~~ — `stdio`, `http` (streamable-http), `sse` (deprecated but supported for backwards compat)
+- [x] ~~Project-level only~~ — Yes, project-level only for v1
+- [x] ~~Gitignore~~ — No, not adding generated files to .gitignore
+- [ ] Should `ai-devkit install` handle removing servers deleted from `.ai-devkit.json`? (Suggest: no for v1, additive only)
+- [ ] Should there be an `ai-devkit mcp add <name>` interactive command? (Suggest: defer to v2)
+- [ ] Should we support Codex-specific fields (`startup_timeout_sec`, `tool_timeout_sec`, `enabled_tools`, etc.) in the universal schema? (Suggest: no for v1, only core fields: command/args/env/url/headers)

+# Testing: MCP Config Standardization
+
+## Test Coverage Goals
+
+- Unit test coverage: 100% of new code (statements/lines)
+- 47 new tests added, 419 total passing
+
+## Coverage Results
+
+| File | Stmts | Branch | Lines |
+|------|-------|--------|-------|
+| `BaseMcpGenerator.ts` | 100% | 100% | 100% |
+| `ClaudeCodeMcpGenerator.ts` | 100% | 92% | 100% |
+| `CodexMcpGenerator.ts` | 100% | 92% | 100% |
+| `McpConfigGenerator.ts` | 100% | 100% | 100% |
+| `util/object.ts` | 82% | 68% | 100% |
+| `util/terminal.ts` | — | — | — |
+| `index.ts` | — | — | — |
+
+Note: `index.ts` (re-export only) and `terminal.ts` (one-liner `process.stdin.isTTY`) are trivial — not worth mocking process globals.
+
+## Unit Tests
+
+### InitTemplate Validation (`src/__tests__/lib/InitTemplate.mcp.test.ts` — 16 tests)
+- [x] Accepts valid mcpServers with stdio transport

+
+### ClaudeCodeMcpGenerator (`src/__tests__/services/install/mcp/ClaudeCodeMcpGenerator.test.ts` — 11 tests)
+
+**plan():**

+- [x] Preserves existing unmanaged servers
+- [x] Writes resolved conflicts
+- [x] Maps sse transport to type: sse
+
+### CodexMcpGenerator (`src/__tests__/services/install/mcp/CodexMcpGenerator.test.ts` — 8 tests)
+
+**plan():**
+- [x] Marks all servers as new when no existing config.toml
+- [x] Skips servers already present with identical config
+- [x] Detects conflicts when server exists with different config
+- [x] Handles malformed existing config.toml gracefully
+
+**apply():**

+- [x] Returns empty report when no servers
+- [x] Skips agents not in environments list
+- [x] Skips agents without MCP support (hasMcpSupport check)
+- [x] Counts skipped servers in report
+- [x] Prompts user for conflicts in interactive mode
+- [x] Skips all conflicts in interactive mode when user chooses skip
+- [x] Skips conflicts in non-interactive mode (CI) by default
+- [x] Overwrites conflicts in non-interactive mode with --overwrite
+- [x] Overwrites conflicts in interactive mode with --overwrite (no prompt)
+- [x] Reports failed when generator throws
+- [x] Handles per-server choice in interactive mode
+- [x] Handles per-server choice where user skips
+
+## Test Data
+
+All test data is inline via `jest.mock('fs-extra')` and `jest.mock('inquirer')` — no fixture files needed. Tests mock:
+- Empty/missing config files (new install)
+- Existing configs with matching servers (skip path)
+- Existing configs with differing servers (conflict path)
+- Malformed files (graceful error handling)
+- Non-MCP content preservation (Codex TOML, Claude Code JSON)
+- Interactive vs non-interactive terminal (TTY mocking)
+- User prompt responses (skip/overwrite/per-server)
