FAQ

Questions

How do I install Al Go?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Al Go need an API key?

No required environment variable is listed on this record.

What transport does Al Go use?

Al Go runs locally over stdio.

AL-Go MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides intelligent access to AL-Go documentation, workflows, and domain expertise for Business Central development automation.

Repository

🔗 GitHub Repository: https://github.com/louagej/al-go-mcp-server 📦 npm Package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/al-go-mcp-server

Features

Domain Specialists: 16 AL-Go expert profiles covering every major workflow area (app creation, CI/CD, release management, testing, deployment, and more)
Knowledge Integration: Links specialists to AL-Go scenarios, workshop content, GitHub Discussions, and resolved Issues
Ranked Search: BM25 relevance ranking (with title and path boosts) for documentation, issues, discussions, and cross-source semantic search
Knowledge Graph: Visualize relationships between specialists and knowledge sources, with cluster detection
Smart Caching: One shared cache for all GitHub data (docs: 24h, discussions: 6h, issues: 12h) with hit/miss statistics; documentation is downloaded without using the GitHub API rate limit
AL-Go Documentation: Search through comprehensive AL-Go guides and workflow templates
Optional Authentication: GitHub token support for higher rate limits and full API access

Installation

With npm

# Install globally for command line usage
npm install -g al-go-mcp-server

# Or use directly with npx (no installation required)
npx al-go-mcp-server

Usage

VS Code with MCP Extension (Recommended)

You can configure the AL-Go MCP server in two ways:

Option 1: User Settings (Recommended)

Add to your User MCP Configuration for access across all projects in the same VS Code profile:

Note: User settings are profile-specific. The server will be available for all projects opened with the same VS Code profile (e.g., "Node.js", "Default", etc.).

Open VS Code Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
Run "MCP: Open User Configuration"
Add the server configuration:

{
  "servers": {
    "al-go-docs": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["--yes", "al-go-mcp-server@latest"]
    }
  },
  "inputs": []
}

Option 2: Project Settings

Add to your project's .vscode/mcp.json for project-specific configuration:

{
  "servers": {
    "al-go-docs": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["--yes", "al-go-mcp-server@latest"]
    }
  }
}

With GitHub Authentication (Recommended)

Provide a GitHub token for higher rate limits, and to enable discussion and issue search:

{
  "servers": {
    "al-go-docs": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["--yes", "al-go-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "your_github_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

AL_GO_MCP_GITHUB_TOKEN is accepted as an alternative to GITHUB_TOKEN.

Claude Code

Add the server for all your projects:

claude mcp add --scope user al-go-docs -e GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token_here -- npx --yes al-go-mcp-server@latest

Specialist Agents (Optional)

The 16 specialists can be installed as agents in Claude Code (~/.claude/agents) and VS Code Copilot Chat (your VS Code user prompts folder, e.g. %APPDATA%CodeUserprompts on Windows), so they are available in every project.

Install once from the command line:

npx --yes al-go-mcp-server@latest --install-agents          # every client found on this machine
npx --yes al-go-mcp-server@latest --install-agents=claude   # Claude Code only
npx --yes al-go-mcp-server@latest --install-agents=vscode   # VS Code only

Or let the server keep them up to date on every start by setting AL_GO_MCP_INSTALL_AGENTS to true, claude or vscode in its env:

"env": {
  "AL_GO_MCP_INSTALL_AGENTS": "true"
}

Claude Code: restart the session to load new agents. Claude delegates AL-Go questions to the matching specialist on its own, or you can ask for one: use alg-rex to find out why my CI/CD workflow fails. Agents are listed under /agents.
VS Code: the agents appear in the Copilot Chat agent picker as @alg-*. They call the server's tools as al-go-docs/*, so keep al-go-docs as the server name.

Updates

At startup the server checks npm for a newer version in the background (a single request with a 3-second timeout; it never delays startup or fails offline). When one is available, the next tool result ends with a one-line notice:

npx with @latest (the configurations above): restarting the MCP server is enough to get the new version.
Global install: the notice shows the npm install -g al-go-mcp-server@latest command to run.

Agent files installed earlier (see Specialist Agents) are rewritten automatically when the server version changes, followed by a notice to restart the Claude Code session or reload the VS Code window. Only clients that already have AL-Go agents are touched, and only the alg-* files.

Set AL_GO_MCP_UPDATE_CHECK to off to disable the update check. The server uses npm_config_registry when it is set, so a company npm mirror works.

Command Line (Advanced)

# If installed globally
al-go-mcp-server

# Or using npx (no installation needed, always latest)
npx --yes al-go-mcp-server@latest

{
  "servers": {
    "al-go-docs": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",

npx --yes al-go-mcp-server@latest --install-agents=vscode   # VS Code only

Or let the server keep them up to date on every start by setting AL_GO_MCP_INSTALL_AGENTS to true, claude or vscode in its env:
