## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-17.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (request_rule).
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 371 tokens (~92/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 20/100
  - Stability observed for 6 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 80/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 30% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## Install

### How do I install the io.github.BenAHammond/code-auditor-mcp server?

io.github.BenAHammond/code-auditor-mcp is a hosted endpoint at https://www.codeauditormcp.com/api/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-10-16 (score 68, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 13 to 17. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 4 days of observed history at the previous scan, 5 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-10-14 (score 67, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 7 to 10.

### 2026-10-12 (score 66, −9)

- [critical regression] Authorization: partial → fail
- [security] New tool “request_rule”, which the server declares destructive
- [functional regression] Tool coverage: 100% → 30%

- [functional improvement] Stability: unverified → 0.03

### 2026-10-11 (score 75)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (4)

### `get_install_commands` (~90 tokens)

Get Install Commands

Return the exact install commands for Code Auditor for a given AI agent. Call this when a user asks how to install Code Auditor, or asks for the command for a specific agent (claude, cursor, codex, gemini, agents, zcode, or all).

Input parameters:

- `agent` (string, required): The AI agent to install for (e.g. claude, cursor, codex, all).

Output parameters:

- `agent` (string)
- `commands` (array)
- `displayName` (string)
- `note` (string)

### `lookup_rule` (~84 tokens)

Look Up Rule

Return the rule kind, description, default severity, detection method, and threshold for a given Code Auditor rule or analyzer. Call this when a user asks what a specific rule does (e.g. import-ban, sql-injection, n+1).

Input parameters:

- `rule_id` (string, required): Rule or analyzer id, e.g. import-ban, sql-injection, n+1.

### `explain_symptom` (~75 tokens)

Explain Symptom

Map a natural-language symptom (e.g. 'my app is slow', 'hardcoded password', 'infinite react loop') to the relevant Code Auditor rule(s) and their fixes. Call this when a user describes a problem rather than naming a rule.

Input parameters:

- `symptom` (string, required): A plain-language description of the problem.

Output parameters:

- `hint` (string)
- `matches` (array)

### `request_rule` (~122 tokens)

Request Rule

Request a new Code Auditor rule. Call lookup_rule or explain_symptom first to confirm no existing rule covers it. Provide a minimal example that should be flagged and a corrected example that should not. Reduce both to the smallest code that shows the difference, and remove secrets and proprietary identifiers. Returns a receipt id.

Input parameters:

- `cleanExample` (array, required)
- `firingExample` (array, required)
- `languages` (array, required)
- `signal` (string, required)
- `symptom` (string, required)
- `title` (string, required)
- `toolVersion` (string)

Output parameters:

- `duplicateSubmission` (boolean)
- `existingRuleMatches` (array)
- `id` (string)
