Option 1: NPX (Recommended)
Add to your MCP client config
{
"mcpServers": {
"anubis": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@hive-academy/anubis"],
"env": {
"PROJECT_ROOT": "C:\path\ o\projects"
}
}
}
}
Option 2: Docker (MCP Configuration)
For Unix/Linux/macOS (mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"anubis": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-i",
"-v",
"${PWD}:/app/workspace",
"-v",
".anubis:/app/.anubis",
"hiveacademy/anubis"
]
}
}
}
For Windows (mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"anubis": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-i",
"-v",
"C:\path\ o\your\project:/app/workspace",
"-v",
"C:\path\ o\your\project\.anubis:/app/.anubis",
"hiveacademy/anubis"
]
}
}
}
INITIALIZE CUSTOM-MODES ( AGENT RULES)
Once you get the mcp server running you need to initialize the rules (custom-modes) for the agent you are using
Supported Agents: cursor • copilot • roocode • kilocode
Step 1: Initialize Intelligent Guidance
Please initialize Anubis workflow rules for [your-agent-name] by calling the init_rules MCP tool
Step 2: Start Your Workflow
Begin a new workflow for [your-project] with Anubis guidance
ROOCODE Setup Example
1- install the MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anubis": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@hive-academy/anubis"],
"env": {
"PROJECT_ROOT": "C:\path\ o\projects"
}
}
}
}
2- then make sure you are on Code mode and ask it to generate the custom Anubis mode for you
Please initialize Anubis workflow rules for roocode by calling the init_rules MCP tool
3- reload the window and you should see the custom mode in the modes dropdown list. activate it and ask it to create your first task
4- also if you don't have a memory bank files, ask it to generate them for you as the first task.
Cursor Setup Example
For Cursor users, here's a complete setup example:
- Install MCP Server in Cursor:
- Open Cursor Settings (
Cmd/Ctrl + ,) - Navigate to "Extensions" → "MCP Servers"
- Add new server configuration:
"anubis": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@hive-academy/anubis"], "env": { "PROJECT_ROOT": "C:\path\ o\projects" } } - Open Cursor Settings (
- Initialize Cursor Rules
- Make Sure the mcp server is working and active.
- ask the agent to
Please initialize Anubis workflow rules for cursor by calling the init_rules MCP tool. - you should see a file generated at .cursor/rules with the name
000-workflow-core.mdc - Head over to cursor rules and make sure the rules file are added and active.
Now You are ready to start you first task 🚀.
Hint: an important first step task is to generate memory-bank files Ask the agent to
Please create a task to analyze codebase and generate memory-bank files (ProjectOverview.md, TechnicalArchitecture.md, and DeveloperGuide.md)
Claude Code Setup Example
-
To install the mcp server use this command
claude mcp add anubis npx -y @hive-academy/anubismake sure you are on the poject root you want to install this into.
-
To make sure it's installed correctly run
claude mcp listyou should see a server with nameanubis. -
now you will need to do a very important step:
- Download this rules markdown file Anubis Rules
- Save it inside your project for example inside a folder names
rulesand file nameanubis-rules.md. - Then open your CLAUDE.md file and add the following:
Anubis Workflow @rules/anubis-rules.md

FAQ
- What is the Anubis MCP server?
- Anubis is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
- How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
- Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
- How are reviews shown for Anubis?
- This profile displays 10 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.5 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.
