  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management67
  • Stability observed for 20 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100

Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "rankcli_disconnect" implies "unlink" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail

How do I install the RankCLI MCP server?

RankCLI runs locally as an npm package, launched with npx -y @rankcli/mcp-server. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 15 exposed · ~1,158 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
rankcli_connect ~119

Link this AI assistant to a RankCLI account (rankcli.dev). This is the only tool in this server that contacts rankcli.dev, and only when you call it - every other tool runs fully locally. Connecting unlocks GitHub auto-fix PRs, scheduled monitoring, and a dashboard with history across audits; it does not change how the other tools work. Opens a browser tab for the user to approve (or reuses an existing session if already logged in). Safe to call anytime - if already connected, it just reports who's connected.
