## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, 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 2026-10-18.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 0/100
  - No malware scan is available for this kind of package: the supply-chain vendors we use do not cover it. This is a permanent gap in our coverage, not a finding about the package.
  - CVE check failed: a known advisory affects this package; its severity couldn't be graded.
  - Install-script risk not yet assessed.
  - Dependency health could not be checked: this image's dependency list comes from an SBOM its publisher attached. It names packages and versions but not whether each is deprecated, still maintained or linked to its source, so there is nothing we can fairly grade.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 87/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to IronSecCo/ironclaw).
  - License check failed: no license is declared.
  - Actively maintained (last published 4 days ago).
  - Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 83/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 197 tokens (~197/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 67/100
  - Stability observed for 20 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 75/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "sandbox_exec" implies "exec" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default.
  - An AI judge read all 1 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 40/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-03-26; the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Install

### How do I install the io.github.IronSecCo/ironclaw MCP server?

io.github.IronSecCo/ironclaw runs locally as a container image, launched with docker run --rm -i -e IRONCLAW_CONTROLPLANE_URL -e IRONCLAW_API_TOKEN ghcr.io/ironsecco/ironclaw-mcp:v0.1.547. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 3 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

### Claude

```bash
claude mcp add ironsecco-ironclaw -- docker run --rm -i -e IRONCLAW_CONTROLPLANE_URL -e IRONCLAW_API_TOKEN ghcr.io/ironsecco/ironclaw-mcp:v0.1.547
```

This image reads IRONCLAW_CONTROLPLANE_URL and IRONCLAW_API_TOKEN. Set them in your client's env block for this server; docker run -e passes each one through to the container.

### Cursor

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ironsecco-ironclaw": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",

        "-i",
        "-e",
        "IRONCLAW_CONTROLPLANE_URL",
        "-e",
        "IRONCLAW_API_TOKEN",
        "ghcr.io/ironsecco/ironclaw-mcp:v0.1.547"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

This image reads IRONCLAW_CONTROLPLANE_URL and IRONCLAW_API_TOKEN. Set them in your client's env block for this server; docker run -e passes each one through to the container.

### VS Code

### `sandbox_exec` (~197 tokens)

Run a shell command (or code snippet via `sh -c`) inside an ephemeral, hardened IronClaw sandbox box and return its stdout, stderr, exit code, and containment status. By default the box runs under gVisor (runsc), which intercepts syscalls in a user-space guest kernel; it has NO network (egress is impossible), drops all Linux capabilities, runs as a non-root user with a read-only root filesystem, no-new-privileges, a restrictive seccomp profile, and is bounded by cpu/memory/pids caps. It is torn down after the command completes. Use this to execute untrusted or model-generated code safely.

Input parameters:

- `command` (string, required): Command to run inside the sandbox, executed via sh -c.
