Draft: Module 4: AI Editor Integration

MCP server setup, AI editor configuration, and context-driven development.

Overview

This module teaches how to integrate Sruja with AI code editors (Cursor, Trae, Copilot, Cline, Windsurf) for context-aware AI assistance.

Lessons

Lesson 1: MCP Server Setup

Configure Sruja as an MCP server for AI editors

MCP protocol fundamentals
Installing and configuring Sruja MCP
Editor configuration (Cursor, VS Code, etc.)
Testing the connection

Lesson 2: Context-Driven AI Assistance

Use architecture context in AI conversations

Sruja context commands
Focus mode for task-specific context
Cross-repo context building
Context score optimization

Lesson 3: AI Pair Programming Patterns

Effective patterns for AI-assisted architecture work

Asking architecture-aware questions
Using AI for impact analysis
AI-assisted code review
Wrapping AI output with Sruja validation

Learning Outcomes

✅ Configure Sruja MCP server for AI editors
✅ Build and optimize architecture context for AI
✅ Use AI editors with architecture awareness
✅ Validate AI suggestions against Sruja

Prerequisites

Completed Agentic AI Modules 1-3
Familiarity with AI code editors (Cursor, Copilot, etc.)
Understanding of Sruja CLI basics

Estimated Time

1-2 hours

Raw Thoughts from Analysis

v0.23.0+ Features to Cover:

sruja mcp command (MCP stdio server)
sruja context command for building context
sruja focus for task-specific briefing
sruja context-score for AI-readiness scoring
Editor integrations (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Cline, Windsurf)

Model Context Protocol (MCP)
AI-editor context optimization
Cross-repo architecture context
Context-driven development
AI pair programming

Key Commands:

sruja mcp -r .
sruja context -r repoA -r repoB
sruja focus --file <path>
sruja context-score -r .
sruja why <component-id>
sruja impact <component-id>

Editor Setup:

// Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sruja": {
      "command": "sruja",
      "args": ["mcp", "-r", "."]
    }
  }
}

Lesson Ideas:

MCP Server Setup
- What is MCP and why it matters
- Installing/configuring Sruja MCP
- Editor-specific setup (Cursor, Copilot, etc.)
- Testing with sruja mcp -r .
Context-Driven Assistance
- Building context with sruja context
- Using sruja focus for task briefing
- Cross-repo context (sruja context -r repoA -r repoB)
- Optimizing context score
AI Pair Programming Patterns
- Asking "what depends on X?" before changing
- Using sruja impact to understand blast radius
- Validating AI suggestions with sruja lint
- Using AI to generate Sruja from conversations
