# agent-bom-discover — AI Agent & MCP Server Discovery

Discovers AI agents, MCP servers, and their configurations across 22+ AI tools
on this machine. Shows what's installed, configured, and registered in the
bundled 427+ MCP server registry.

## Install

```bash
pipx install agent-bom
agent-bom agents             # discover all AI agents and MCP servers
agent-bom doctor             # check prerequisites and configuration health
agent-bom mcp inventory      # list all discovered MCP servers
agent-bom where              # show all discovery paths
```

## When to Use

- "find agents" / "what agents are configured"
- "what MCP servers do I have"
- "what's configured on this machine"
- "mcp inventory"
- "doctor" / "check my setup"
- "show me what's installed"

## Commands

```bash
# Discover all AI agents and MCP servers
agent-bom agents

# Check configuration health and prerequisites
agent-bom doctor

# List MCP server inventory
agent-bom mcp inventory

# Show all discovery paths
agent-bom where
```

## Examples

```
# Discover all agents
agents()

# Run health check
doctor()

# List MCP inventory
inventory()
```

**Example output:**
```
Discovered 3 MCP clients:
  Claude Desktop  — 4 servers configured
  Cursor          — 2 servers configured
  VS Code         — 1 server configured

Servers: filesystem, brave-search, github, slack, postgres, linear, notion
Registry: 5/7 servers found in registry (427+ entries)
```

## Guardrails

- Discovery is read-only — no files are modified, no packages installed.
- Env var values in config files are always replaced with `***REDACTED***` before processing.
- Only structural data (server names, commands, URLs) is extracted.
- Confirm with user before scanning paths outside the home directory.
