04 // Client Configuration (claude_desktop_config.json) 

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "prpm": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "-m",
        "prpm"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Paste into your client configuration file (e.g. ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS or %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on Windows).

05 // Step-by-Step Installation

Verified Process
  1. 1

    Clone pr-pm/prpm from GitHub

  2. 2

    Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt (or uv sync)

  3. 3

    Copy .env.example to .env and add your API keys

  4. 4

    Run the skill server and connect your AI client via stdio or HTTP

06 // Execution Boundaries & Security Safeguards

● Context Protection

Keeps heavy parsing and raw file structures external to the LLM. Only sanitized excerpts and structured returns are injected into agent memory turns.

● Directory Allowlisting

Enforce explicit directory allowlists and permission scopes in client configuration to ensure autonomous tool calls never breach system boundaries.

● Process Isolation

Executes in an isolated local child process communicating strictly over JSON-RPC via stdio with explicit process timeouts.

07 // Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ Schema Included

What is Prpm and how does it empower AI agents?

Prpm is an open-source coding capability designed for AI clients and autonomous agents. The universal registry for AI coding tools.

How do I install and configure Prpm?

Follow the step-by-step installation: 1) Verify your runtime (Python 3.10+), 2) Add the configuration snippet into your AI client settings (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json), 3) Restart the client to initialize tool execution.

Which AI clients and developer harnesses support Prpm?

Prpm is compatible with all AI tools supporting tool-calling and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), including Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code CLI, Windsurf, OpenCode, and custom agent runtimes.

What security boundaries and sandboxing safeguards does Prpm enforce?

Prpm executes locally with strict directory allowlists and permission scopes. Heavy parsing and raw file structures stay external to the LLM context window to prevent memory saturation and unauthorized access.

Is Prpm free and open source?

Yes, Prpm is published under the MIT open-source license. You can inspect the source code and contribute on GitHub at https://github.com/pr-pm/prpm.
