Rule Porter
Port editor rules, shortcuts, and settings between IDEs so switching Claude Code, Cursor, and other environments does not reset your workflow.
Overview
Rule-Porter is an MCP server for the Build phase that translates multi-IDE settings and shortcuts so agents and editors stay consistent across apps.
What is this MCP server?
- Multi-IDE settings translator mapping shortcuts and rules between apps
- Remote SSE MCP at rule-porter-mcp.vercel.app/api/mcp
- Optional premium settlement with payment-signature (EIP-3009)
- Rule-Porter title, MCP schema version 1.0.0
- Reduces friction when indie builders split time across Cursor, VS Code-family tools, and agent CLIs
- MCP server version 1.0.0
- 1 remote SSE endpoint (rule-porter-mcp.vercel.app/api/mcp)
- 1 optional secret header: payment-signature (EIP-3009)
What problem does it solve?
Indie builders waste hours re-entering keybindings and AI rules every time they switch IDEs or clone their setup to a second machine.
Who is it for?
Builders who routinely switch between MCP-enabled editors and want one agent-assisted path to sync rules and shortcuts.
Skip if: Teams standardized on a single IDE with no cross-editor migration, or users who only need deep Git workflow MCP rather than settings translation.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you add Rule-Porter to your MCP client, agents can help map and port IDE settings between tools so your coding environment stays recognizable.
- Agent-driven mapping between IDE settings and shortcuts
- Registered Rule-Porter remote MCP connection
- Faster environment parity when switching coding tools

Journey fit
Rule-Porter supports Build because consistent agent and IDE configuration is part of assembling your daily shipping toolchain. Agent-tooling fits a multi-IDE settings translator that keeps coding agents and editors aligned when you change or duplicate environments.
How it compares
IDE settings and shortcut translation MCP, not a repository RAG or deployment integration.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Rule Porter for?
Solo developers who use more than one AI-capable editor and need shortcuts and rules translated instead of rebuilt by hand.
When should I use Rule Porter?
During Build agent-tooling setup when you onboard a new IDE, share configs across machines, or align Cursor and Claude Code policies.
How do I add Rule Porter to my agent?
Register https://rule-porter-mcp.vercel.app/api/mcp as a remote SSE MCP server in your client and configure the payment-signature secret if premium settlement is required.
