Radon AI

Radon AI is a MCP server that provides a set of tools that enhances your editor’s Agent. It provides up-to-date knowledge of the React Native ecosystem, access to a comprehensive set of debugging data that is otherwise unavailable, and the ability to interact directly with your app.

We index most React Native libraries along with their relevant documentation, versions, APIs, configuration details and usage patterns to provide additional and accurate context for your Agents.

Our knowledge database is updated daily to provide the most up-to-date information.

Pre-requisites​

Usage in Visual Studio Code​

Radon AI assistant integrates with VSCode's agent mode.

To access agent mode in Visual Studio Code use Ctrl + Shift + I or Cmd + Shift + I.

Alternatively, open VSCode Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P or Cmd + Shift + P) and type Chat: Open Chat, then select agent mode.

To adjust the configuration of the MCP tools exposed by Radon - choose Configure Tools... menu.

There you can adjust which tools are enabled or disable the Radon AI MCP toolset completely.

Usage in Cursor​

Radon AI assistant integrates with Cursor's agent mode.

The Radon IDE automatically registers Radon AI tools in Cursor. You configure the Radon AI MCP tools from Cursor Settings. There, you can choose which tools are enabled or disable the MCP Radon toolset completely.

  1. In Cursor, open Cursor Settings (Ctrl + Shift + J or Cmd + Shift + J).
  2. Navigate to the Tools & Integrations.
  3. Find the MCP Tools section.
  4. Select Radon AI from the list of available toolsets.

Alternatively, you can type and run View: Open MCP Settings from the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P or Cmd + Shift + P).

Available tools​

The AI models automatically discover and invoke tools when they decide it will be useful. You can query the agent to use the tool by mentioning it's name in the prompt. These are currently available tools in Radon AI:

  • get_library_description Provides a detailed description of a library and its use cases.
  • query_documentation Retrieves documentation snippets relevant to a provided query.
  • reload_application Triggers reload of the application. The AI may choose whether to restart the application process, reload just the JS bundle, or rebuild the entire app.
  • view_application_logs Returns all the build, bundling and runtime logs available to Radon IDE. If the app builds and launches successfully, this tool will also attach a screenshot of the app.
  • view_screenshot Captures a device preview screenshot. Can help the agent with debugging issues and making UI adjustments. Currently only supported in GPT, Gemini and Claude models.
  • view_component_tree Displays the component tree of the running app. This tool allows the agent to gain a broad understanding of the project's structure.

Limitations​

  1. Like any technology based on large language models, responses augmented by Radon AI are still prone to errors. Make sure to check important information before making decisions.

  2. The knowledge base used by Radon AI contains only documentation files. While some documentation pages contain code snippets, we do not index the full source code of the libraries.

  3. Both GitHub Copilot and Cursor offer limited free plans that allow you to try Radon AI. Once you reach certain limits, you will need to upgrade to paid plans to continue using Radon AI.

Disabling Radon AI​

To disable Radon AI assistant navigate to the editor settings.

You can type Preferences: Open User Settings in the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P or Cmd + Shift + P).

Within editor settings, type Radon AI: Enabled, press the first result and select Disabled.

Privacy​

To provide accurate responses, queries that you type to Radon AI chatbot along with the list of your project dependencies are sent to our servers in order to search our knowledge database. The data that is sent is not stored in any form on our servers but only used for the duration of the request in order to perform the query.
