iris-agentic-dev Gives AI Assistants Live Access to IRIS Server Codebases

Developer Thomas Mazur has released iris-agentic-dev, an MCP server designed to give AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot and Claude Code direct access to live InterSystems IRIS instances. The tool addresses a key limitation: when working with isfs:// workspaces in VS Code, AI assistants cannot index the virtual filesystem, leaving them unable to understand large server-side IRIS codebases. iris-agentic-dev connects through the Atelier REST API, enabling the AI to search entire namespaces, compile classes, run ObjectScript and SQL, inspect Ensemble productions, and execute unit tests. The solution works with VS Code 1.99 or later in Copilot Agent mode, as well as Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenCode, and supports IRIS running natively or in Docker. Mazur says the tool can be set up in approximately five minutes, with a full tool catalog and benchmarking details to follow in subsequent articles.
