Just a few months ago most of us used a single coding assistant.
Today the landscape has changed quite a bit.
It’s very common to find developers working with a combination of:
-
Claude Code
-
Codex CLI
-
Cursor
-
OpenCode
-
Aider
And with each tool comes a new collection of:
-
MCP servers,
-
memories,
-
hooks,
-
skills,
-
plugins,
-
configurations,
-
sessions.
At first it doesn’t seem like a problem.
Until you switch computers, reinstall a tool, or simply try to remember where you configured that MCP server you used so much.
Cross-Code Organizer tries to solve exactly that chaos.
It’s an open source utility that scans the configurations of different coding agents and presents them through a single interface so you can manage them, back them up, and understand how your stack is built.
If you use more than one agent, it’s probably one of those tools you end up installing the same day you discover it.
What does it do exactly?
Cross-Code Organizer automatically searches for the configuration of major coding assistants installed on your machine.
Among other things it can detect:
-
MCP Servers
-
Memories
-
Skills
-
Hooks
-
Slash Commands
-
Plugins
-
Configurations
-
Sessions
-
State files
Instead of having to remember where each tool stores its files, everything appears centralized.
The problem it tries to solve
Let’s imagine this scenario.
Claude Code has:
-
18 MCP Servers
-
12 Skills
-
7 Hooks
Codex has:
-
custom prompts
-
different configurations
OpenCode:
-
own plugins
-
different workflows
Then you install Cursor.
And a few weeks later you can’t remember:
-
which tool has each configuration,
-
which MCP is duplicated,
-
which ones you no longer use,
-
which ones actually work.
Cross-Code Organizer turns all of that into an inventory.
What can it manage?
The project continues to grow, but currently targets components like:
MCP Servers
Visualize what servers are configured in each tool.
Ideal for detecting:
-
duplicates,
-
old versions,
-
broken configurations.
Memories
Many agents already incorporate persistent memory.
Cross-Code Organizer lets you find them quickly without browsing hidden folders.
Hooks
Especially useful for Claude Code.
You can quickly see:
-
what hooks exist,
-
where they live,
-
which ones are active.
Skills and Plugins
When you start installing skills from different repositories it’s easy to lose control.
The tool provides a consolidated view.
Sessions
Some agents maintain their own logs and states.
The organizer helps locate them for cleanup or backup.
Real-world use cases
1. New computer
You bought a new machine.
Instead of reinstalling everything manually:
-
you review what configurations exist,
-
you export what you need,
-
you rebuild your environment much faster.
2. Stack audit
After a few months it’s normal to accumulate:
-
duplicate MCPs,
-
abandoned plugins,
-
hooks you no longer use.
A unified view makes it much easier to decide what to keep.
3. Teams
If the whole team uses a combination of tools, having your stack inventoried makes it easier to:
-
document,
-
onboard,
-
support,
-
standardize.
4. Backups
One of the most practical uses.
Before updating an important agent, you can verify exactly what configurations are worth backing up.
Installation
The project can be installed directly from GitHub.
git clone https://github.com/mcpware/cross-code-organizer.git
Enter the directory:
cd cross-code-organizer
Install the dependencies:
npm install
And run it:
npm start
Installation may vary slightly as the project evolves. Always check the README for the most recent version.
What agents does it support?
Support continues to expand, but the main focus is on tools like:
-
Claude Code
-
Codex CLI
-
OpenCode
-
Cursor
-
Aider
And the list will probably keep growing as new coding agents emerge.
What’s interesting is not the organizer
What’s interesting is the problem it reveals.
A year ago we were discussing which was the best coding agent.
Today many developers use several.
One for pair programming.
Another for automations.
Another for local tasks.
Another for code review.
And that means a new category of tools is starting to emerge:
tools that manage the managers.
Something similar happened years ago with Docker.
At first a few containers were enough.
Then Docker Desktop, Portainer, Kubernetes dashboards and observability tools appeared because managing dozens of containers manually stopped being viable.
With coding agents something similar will probably happen.
As our stack becomes more complex, we’ll also need tools to help us understand it.
Cross-Code Organizer seems to be one of the first projects pointing in exactly that direction.
And if the future really is a stack made up of multiple specialized agents, it probably won’t be the last.
