Cursor uses the same mcpServers schema as Claude Desktop. Project config wins over global.

Continue uses an array of server objects rather than a map.

  }
}

Add to context_servers. Zed hot-reloads on save.

claude mcp add antivibe-skill -- git clone https://github.com/mohi-devhub/antivibe ~/.claude/skills/antivibe

One-liner. Verify with claude mcp list. Remove with claude mcp remove.

Use Cases

Real-world ways to use antivibe

Learn a new framework while Claude writes in it

👤 Devs picking up an unfamiliar framework (Svelte, Rust, Go) ⏱ ~20 min beginner

When to use: You'd normally copy Claude's output and hope for the best. Instead, you want to understand.

Prerequisites

Skill installed — git clone https://github.com/mohi-devhub/antivibe ~/.claude/skills/antivibe

Flow

Ask for code as usual

Use antivibe. Write a Svelte 5 store for user authentication.✓ Copied

→ Code block + teaching pass explaining runes, $state, $derived
Ask for alternatives

What other approaches did you consider? Why this one?✓ Copied

→ Named alternatives with tradeoffs
Probe understanding

Quiz me — ask 3 questions about what this code does.✓ Copied

→ Actual quiz questions, not a quiz on trivia

Outcome: Code in your repo you understand and can maintain.

Pitfalls

Skipping the explanation pass when in a hurry — Turn the skill off for throwaway spike code, on for anything you'll merge

Have Claude review code you wrote, antivibe-style

👤 Devs who want a critical second look ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

When to use: You wrote something and want a teacher's eye on it.

Flow

Submit the code

Use antivibe. Here's my implementation [...] — review it like you'd teach it.✓ Copied

→ Per-section commentary
Ask what a senior would say

What would a senior engineer on this codebase push back on?✓ Copied

→ Specific pushback, not 'add tests'

Outcome: Concrete improvements with reasoning you internalize.

Pitfalls

Claude becomes a hype machine — Prompt explicitly: 'be skeptical; assume the code is wrong until proven'

Combine with: filesystem

Produce teaching-quality explanations for a PR description

👤 Senior devs onboarding juniors through PRs ⏱ ~15 min beginner

When to use: You want the PR description to double as a teaching doc.

Flow

Feed the diff

Use antivibe. Write a PR description that explains to a mid-level dev why each change is there.✓ Copied

→ PR body with rationale per chunk

Outcome: PR descriptions your team actually reads.

Combine with: github

Combinations

Pair with other MCPs for X10 leverage

antivibe-skill + github

Post antivibe-style explanations as inline PR comments

Review this PR with antivibe and leave teaching comments on non-obvious lines.✓ Copied

antivibe-skill + filesystem

Walk a junior through a codebase file by file

Use antivibe to explain each file in src/auth/ as if onboarding a new engineer.✓ Copied

Tools

What this MCP exposes

Tool	Inputs	When to call
explain_code	code block	Right after generation
list_alternatives	code + goal	Deepening understanding
quiz_me	code block	Testing actual understanding

Cost & Limits

What this costs to run

API quota: None
Tokens per call: Higher than bare generation — the extra explanation pass doubles tokens roughly
Monetary: Free
Tip: Use for signal code only; skip for repetitive boilerplate.

Security

Permissions, secrets, blast radius

Credential storage: None

Data egress: Local prompts; code sent to Claude API per normal operation

Troubleshooting

Common errors and fixes

Explanation is just a restatement of the code

Prompt for alternatives and pitfalls explicitly; Claude sometimes defaults to paraphrase

Skill doesn't trigger

Invoke by name and reference 'antivibe style' in prompts

Verify: ls ~/.claude/skills/antivibe/SKILL.md

Alternatives

antivibe vs others

Alternative	When to use it instead	Tradeoff
Native Claude Code without skill	Ad-hoc teaching requests	Inconsistent; depends on prompt each time
Reading docs + pair programming	Real mastery	Slower; higher quality
