Pocketlantern MCP server — FAQ

Common questions about connecting and running Pocketlantern.

  • What is a blocker in the context of this MCP server?

    Blockers are source-linked, time-sensitive constraints or facts that may prevent or complicate code changes. They help AI agents make grounded decisions by surfacing real project limitations before suggesting implementations.

  • How does PocketLantern integrate with my AI coding agent?

    Install via `npx @pocketlantern/mcp-server@0.2.0` and connect it as an MCP server over stdio. Your agent can then query blockers and time-sensitive facts to inform coding decisions.

  • What does 'source-linked' mean in this context?

    Source-linked means blockers and facts are tied to specific files, lines, or code locations in your repository, making decisions contextual and traceable to actual project code.

  • Can I define custom blockers for my project?

    The server supports blocker configuration, though specific setup details are available in the project documentation. Check the registry or project repository for configuration examples.

  • Is PocketLantern a replacement for linters or static analysis tools?

    No—it's a decision layer designed to work alongside your existing tools. It surfaces high-level blockers and constraints to AI agents, complementing traditional linting and analysis.
