Global installed files
ADT keeps its global files under:
~/Library/Application Support/ADT/MCP/
These files belong to the ADT installation, not to an individual project. Coding-agent registration files and caches owned by Codex, Cursor, VS Code, or Claude are outside the scope of this page.
Coding-agent plug-ins
ADT installs two distributions of the coding-agent integration under the global root:
| Path | Contents |
|---|---|
agent-plugin/
|
Agent Plugins standard bundle used by Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT, and VS Code. It contains plugin.json, mcp.json, the ADT launcher, and the bundled skills. |
claude-plugin/
|
Claude Code marketplace bundle. It contains the core ADT plug-in, the default standards pack, their manifests, the MCP configuration, skills, and launcher. |
.agents/plugins/marketplace.json
|
ADT-owned marketplace manifest that exposes the Agent Plugin bundle to Codex. |
The installer may register or copy these bundles into a coding agent's own directories. Those host-managed copies are not part of ADT's installation root.
Supporting ADT files
| Path | Contents |
|---|---|
bin/
|
The adt launcher and architecture-specific binaries. Only the coding agent plugin runs these; they are not on your PATH. |
fm-cli/
|
The filemaker binary and the FileMaker frameworks it loads. |
addons/
|
Source operations for ADT components installed into FileMaker files. |
template/
|
Project and Web Viewer app templates, including the vendored @adt/fmdapi package. |
logs/
|
Installer and local analytics logs. |
backups/
|
Backups created while ADT replaces installed files. |
scripts/uninstall.sh
|
ADT uninstaller. |
install-state.json
|
Installed version and installer state. |
telemetry-anonymous-id
|
Anonymous identifier used when telemetry is enabled. |
The one command the installer places on your PATH is filemaker:
/usr/local/bin/filemaker
It points to the filemaker binary and frameworks under fm-cli/ in the ADT global root. The adt command is not installed on your PATH; the coding agent plugin runs it from bin/.
