Delimit — API Governance for AI Coding Assistants

Overview

Delimit is an API governance server for AI coding assistants that helps manage breaking changes, enforce policies, and maintain cross-model context. It plugs into your AI coding tools as an MCP server, exposing governance capabilities as tools the model can invoke to keep your APIs safe and consistent across development workflows.

The server runs locally on your machine via the npm package delimit-cli, which communicates over stdio with no authentication required. It works out of the box with version v4.1.38 under the MIT license. The source code is available at delimit-ai/delimit-mcp-server on GitHub, where the project has 21 stars.

Delimit appears in the Development category on mcp.site and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and other compatible tools. If you maintain this server, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep the information up to date.
