UseAI is a privacy-first MCP server that tracks how you use AI coding tools — session duration, languages, task types, and streaks — without ever seeing your code. Think of it as WakaTime for AI coding.
Every developer "uses AI" now. But there's no standard way to measure, verify, or demonstrate how effectively you wield these tools. Resumes say "proficient with AI" — but what does that actually mean?
GitHub shows your commits. LinkedIn shows your experience. But nothing shows how you work with AI — the tools you use, the complexity you handle, the quality of your prompts, or the consistency of your output.
UseAI captures your AI-assisted development workflow silently and locally, scores sessions using research-backed frameworks, and creates a verified, shareable profile of your AI proficiency.
UseAI runs as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that integrates directly with your AI coding tools. When you start a conversation with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any other supported tool, UseAI silently records session metadata — duration, languages, task type, and complexity — without ever accessing your code or prompts.
Sessions are evaluated using the SPACE framework (from GitHub and Microsoft Research) and sealed with an Ed25519 cryptographic signature. Your AI proficiency becomes a verified, portable credential — not a self-reported claim.
Automatically records AI tool usage — duration, task type, languages, files touched, and milestones completed.
Each session is scored across prompt quality, context, independence, and scope using research-backed rubrics.
A composite 0–1000 APS score aggregates output, efficiency, prompt quality, consistency, and breadth.
Opt-in shareable profile at useai.dev showing your tools, languages, output, and complexity distribution.
See where you stand among developers worldwide. Ranked by APS, hours, streaks, and sessions completed.
Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Aider, and many more.
Zero network calls during coding. Your code, prompts, and AI responses never leave your machine. Only aggregate metrics are synced — and only when you choose.
Every session is sealed with an Ed25519 digital signature and linked in a SHA-256 hash chain. Your proficiency is verified, not self-reported.
The MCP server, CLI, and all client-side code are open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. Audit every line that runs on your machine.
Sessions are stored as plain JSONL files in ~/.useai on your machine. Export, inspect, or delete at any time. No vendor lock-in.
UseAI is built by Devness Network — a developer tools company focused on making AI-assisted development measurable, verifiable, and transparent.
We believe the future of software development is AI-augmented, and developers need tools to understand, improve, and prove how effectively they work with AI. UseAI is the first step toward that vision.
The project is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. We welcome contributions, feedback, and collaboration from the developer community.
UseAI's MCP server, CLI, dashboard, and website are fully open source. The cloud API is closed source, but we publish comprehensive documentation of every field synced, every endpoint called, and every piece of data stored. See our Privacy Policy for complete details.
