aipatterns.com.au MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the aipatterns.com.au pattern library, AU AI incidents, sector benchmarks, and regulatory changes as tools callable by Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other MCP-compatible AI assistants.
What it provides
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_patterns | Full-text search across the pattern library (title, description, content) |
get_pattern | Retrieve full detail + implementation guidance for a specific pattern |
get_incidents | Notable Australian AI incidents with linked patterns and regulatory outcomes |
get_sector_benchmark | AU AI Maturity Index scores for banking, insurance, government, retail, healthcare, utilities |
get_regulatory_changes | APRA CPS 230, OAIC Privacy Act reform, ASIC INFO 183, TGA SaMD, and more |
No database connection or network calls are required at runtime — all data is served from the local pattern files and hardcoded seed data.
Published on npm as aipatterns-mcp-server — no clone or build step needed, npx fetches and runs it.
Add to Claude Desktop
Edit ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"aipatterns": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "aipatterns-mcp-server"]
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop.
Add to Cursor
Create or edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aipatterns": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "aipatterns-mcp-server"]
}
}
}
Add to GitHub Copilot (VS Code MCP extension)
Add to your VS Code settings.json:
{
"mcp.servers": {
"aipatterns": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "aipatterns-mcp-server"],
"transport": "stdio"
}
}
}
Running from source (development)
git clone https://github.com/uchit/aipatterns-mcp-server
cd aipatterns-mcp-server
npm install
npm run dev # runs via tsx (no build step needed)
npm run build # compile TS → JS for production use
Transport
stdio — the server reads JSON-RPC from stdin and writes responses to stdout. stderr is used for diagnostic messages only.
