Raid

What it does

Raid is a cross-platform CLI that orchestrates multi-repo development environments. It replaces tribal knowledge and stale setup scripts by defining commands, environments, and workflows in YAML files committed directly to the repository.

Tools

• raid profile: Manage collections of repositories and environments.
• raid install: Clone repos and execute install tasks.
• raid env: Switch and apply named environments (e.g., local, staging, prod).
• raid context: Emits a workspace snapshot; can be served as an MCP server to provide AI agents with repo state and command invocation.
• raid doctor: Diagnostic tool for configuration health checks.

Installation

To use Raid as an MCP server in Claude Desktop, add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json (note: ensure the raid binary is in your PATH):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "raid": {
      "command": "raid",
      "args": ["context", "serve"]
    }
  }
}
