MCP tools · 10 exposed · ~1,623 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
iris_check ~187

Report code-health findings for a file, folder, or workspace: every rule that fired, each with its line, severity, and a stable id you can pass to iris_fix_safe. Also reports which files import each checked file, the project health score, and the gate threshold. Use this before editing a file to see what else to re-check, or to answer whether code is ready to commit or push. One file and its direct importers are Free. A directory captures a project review using the current local allowance. Pass its inspection.evidence_id to reopen captured findings without rescanning. (Free file checks; signed-in project reviews use the current workspace allowance)

NameTypeReqDescription
evidence_idstring–Saved project review. Omit path to read its captured scope without a new scan or action.
pathstring–Path relative to the MCP root
scopestring––

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

iris_check_dependency ~140

Report known vulnerabilities for this project's dependencies from OSV: severity, confidence, and the nearest fixed version, per package. Saved reports stay readable without refreshing. A fresh audit needs sign-in and network consent, and uses one local project action on Free. no_cache explicitly refreshes provider data. (Saved reports are Free; fresh audits use the current workspace allowance)

NameTypeReqDescription
allow_networkboolean–Allow fresh registry and OSV lookups when no usable cache exists
no_cacheboolean–Ignore the local dependency cache and require a fresh scan
pathstringyesPath relative to the MCP root
scopestring––

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

iris_check_package ~310

Report whether one package is safe to add, BEFORE you add or upgrade it as a dependency: whether the version that would install has a known vulnerability, is reported malicious, is yanked, deprecated or a prerelease, or was published so recently it breaks this project's policy - and which version to install instead. Call this before every install command you run and before editing a manifest to add or bump a package. Pass ecosystem (npm, python, cargo, go, rubygems, nuget, maven), name, and optionally version (exact, a range, or a tag). If blocks is true, do not install that version; use suggestedCommand. Needs allow_network: true the first time on a machine. (Free)

NameTypeReqDescription
allow_networkboolean–Allow fresh registry and OSV lookups when no usable cache exists
ecosystemstringyesThe registry: npm, python (PyPI), cargo (crates.io), go, rubygems, nuget or maven
namestringyesPackage name, e.g. "lodash", "@scope/pkg", "requests", "github.com/gin-gonic/gin", "org.apache.commons:commons-lang3"
no_cacheboolean–Ignore the local package cache
versionstring–Optional. An exact version, a range such as ^1.2.0 or >=2,<3, or a tag such as latest. Omit to check what a bare install would pick.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

iris_config ~93

Report the rules this project actually enforces, as Iris Code resolves them: thresholds, scoring weights, gate limits, naming policy, and which folder is being analysed and why. Use this before suggesting a change, so your advice matches what the pre-push hook and CI block on rather than a general convention. (Free)

NameTypeReqDescription
pathstringyesPath relative to the MCP root
scopestring––

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

iris_explain ~110

Explain a finding: the rule behind it, why it fired here, and what would satisfy it. Use this when you need the cause rather than the label, so a fix addresses the rule instead of silencing it. (Saved explanations included; fresh file explanations require Pro)

NameTypeReqDescription
evidence_idstring–Saved project review. Omit path to read its captured scope without a new scan or action.
pathstring–Path relative to the MCP root
scopestring––

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

iris_fix_safe ~215

Preview, then apply, only the changes Iris Code can prove safe: merge compatible imports, remove unused import bindings or statements, remove isolated debug statements, or remove literal-only unused variables, including proved multiline ranges. console.error and unused functions are never auto-fixed. Previews by default and returns a preview_token that a later apply must echo back; changed source requires a fresh preview. Refuses per finding with a reason: anything needing a name or a judgement stays your work, and a secret is never auto-fixed. One file is Free; folder and workspace scope need Pro. (Free)

NameTypeReqDescription
applyboolean–Apply validated edits; false previews only
finding_idsarray–Finding IDs returned by iris_check
pathstringyesPath relative to the MCP root
preview_tokenstring–Required with apply: true. Returned by a previous preview call, single-use, valid 10 minutes. Iris only applies an edit set it has already shown you.
scopestring––

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

iris_gate ~114

Report whether this project's configured quality gate would pass, and which files fail which rule. This is the same decision the pre-push hook and CI make, so use it to answer whether a push or build would be blocked. (Saved gate previews included; fresh enforcement requires paid access to this workspace)

NameTypeReqDescription
evidence_idstring–Saved project review. Omit path to read its captured scope without a new scan or action.
pathstring–Path relative to the MCP root
scopestring––

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

iris_refactor_plan ~123

Report a refactor plan for a source file: proved mechanical fixes first, then located suggestions ordered by risk, with destinations from project conventions. Returns a baseline_id held in this session. Apply fixes, preserve behavior and exports, and verify after each move. One planned file remains Free. Fresh folder/workspace plans require sign-in and use one local project action on Free; paid local access is unmetered. The earned project baseline is saved locally. (Free)

NameTypeReqDescription
pathstringyesPath relative to the MCP root
scopestring––

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

iris_schema ~156

Report database tables, columns and relations read from repository schema code, with unresolved references and conflicts disclosed. Before writing a query, migration or model change, call this to get the real table and column names instead of guessing. Schema structure and usage for one named table are Free. Pass a saved project evidence_id for aggregate usage without rescanning. (Free)

NameTypeReqDescription
evidence_idstring–Saved project review returned by iris_check. Uses captured schema and usage without scanning.
formatstring––
include_usageboolean–Usage and warnings. One named table is Free. Use evidence_id from a project review for all tables.
tablestring–Optional physical table name, model identifier or schema-qualified table id

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

iris_verify_refactor ~175

Report verification of a refactor against the session baseline_id or git HEAD. Discovers changed and new workspace files even if omitted from files. Rejects packing, broken imports, new cycles, removed imported exports and new findings, and reports code-line movement, health scores, disabled checks and a correction instruction. Never supply before content. One-file verification remains Free. Verification of an earned multi-file baseline uses no additional action, including after allowance exhaustion; never supply a before-source snapshot. (Free)

NameTypeReqDescription
baseline_idstring–Session baseline returned by iris_refactor_plan or a failing iris_check; omit for disclosed git HEAD fallback
filesarray–Additional affected source paths. Changed/new files are discovered independently.
pathstring–Path relative to the MCP root
scopestring––

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

Common questions

What is the Iris Code MCP server?

Iris Code is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Daiveedjay/iris-code. Local code-quality rules, findings, preview-first safe fixes and gate results for coding agents. This page covers its npm package (@iris-code/mcp).

Is the Iris Code MCP server safe to use?

Iris Code scores 69 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the Iris Code MCP server expose?

Iris Code exposes 10 tools: iris_schema, iris_check, iris_explain, iris_gate, iris_config, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,623 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the Iris Code MCP server still maintained?

Iris Code is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the Iris Code MCP server under?

Iris Code declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
