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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security98
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • 31 of 95 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability65
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2371 tokens (~118/item across 20 items; 20 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management63
  • Stability observed for 19 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage73
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 18% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
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; "derive_kill_criteria" implies "kill" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 20 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Install

How do I install the ideaudit MCP server?

ideaudit runs locally as an npm package, launched with npx -y @inite/ideaudit-tools. 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 · 20 exposed · ~2,371 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 →

Crossed-product audit explorer. Same input as compute_dealbreakers_v2 — returns substrate verdict (no-observer baseline) + crossed verdict (when observer supplied) + a 5-row matrix of {solo, cofounded_technical, cofounded_business, domain_expert, serial} archetype verdicts. Never persists; meant for the dashboard "view as [archetype]" dropdown and for previewing a verdict before committing to it.

compute_dealbreakers_v2 ~200

Methodology v2 dealbreakers — stage-aware weights + confidence-weighted lens scoring + risk-asymmetric verdict (GO requires score≥80 AND zero red flags AND avg confidence≥0.6). Optional `observer` triggers the crossed-product pipeline: substrate verdict (no-observer baseline) PLUS crossed verdict (observer-perturbed weights, risk-tolerance shifted thresholds) PLUS 5-row archetype matrix. The KILL gate (≥2 blockers / score<50) is observer-invariant — fatal stays fatal.

Returns BOTH weighted score and equal-weight baseline (per OECD Handbook + Greco 2018 — equal-weight is defensible default when no outcome calibration exists). buildComplexityPenalty 0-10 subtracted from score. sectorProfile (ai_native/creator/crypto) opt-in reshuffles SV→0.16, X→0.20.

Multi-source TAM consensus. Pass 2-3 sources of market-size text. Optional `estimateYear` per source — when supplied, the result includes yearRange and a hasStaleData flag (true if the span exceeds 5 years). Outliers are dropped by modified Z-score over the median absolute deviation when n≥4. Returns the extracted dollar amounts + consensus median + an agreement score 0..1, where 1 means every source lands within 20% of the median.

compute_search_velocity_v2 ~270

Search velocity (0-25) v2 — canonical 0.40*volume + 0.30*trend + 0.20*intent + 0.10*geo. CRITICAL: externalVolumeNorm MUST come from external sources (Amazon BSR / app store installs / job-board postings) — NOT the Trends timeline (would double-count, since Trends is itself normalized 0-100 within window). trendNorm is derived internally from trendsTimelineValues. Trends peak<50 zeroes the trend component (Yotpo SEO floor). Optional daysSinceLastSignal applies exponential freshness decay (search half-life 90d).

NameTypeReqDescription

derive_kill_criteria ~139

Derive a falsifiable, data-driven list of kill criteria from upstream signals — the outputs of validate_unit_economics and compute_dealbreakers_v2, plus an ICP drift count. Returns one row per rule with {rule, threshold, status, evidence?}, where status is tripped_now / monitor / cleared. Replaces prose kill criteria, which are tautologies that can never fire.

validate_unit_economics ~183

Sanity-check a unit-economics row before publishing it in a business-model slide. Catches the math-drift class of failures (customers × ARPU ≠ revenue), enforces the LTV/CAC ≥ 1.5 floor, the cohort-positivity check, and CAC payback bounds. Returns {ok, errors[{rule, severity, detail}], derived{ratios}}. Skills MUST regenerate the row when ok=false (block-severity errors); warn-severity errors should be surfaced in the final report but do not gate publication. No LLM calls.

Common questions

What is the ideaudit MCP server?

ideaudit is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as studio.inite/ideaudit-tools. The scoring behind an audit allowed to say no. Twenty deterministic tools, offline, no account. This page covers its npm package (@inite/ideaudit-tools).

Is the ideaudit MCP server safe to use?

ideaudit scores 73 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 25 September 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 ideaudit MCP server expose?

ideaudit exposes 20 tools: compute_barrier, compute_budget_proof, compute_build_complexity, compute_collection_scores, compute_crossed_matrix, and 15 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,371 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the ideaudit MCP server still maintained?

ideaudit is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 September 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 ideaudit MCP server under?

ideaudit declares the Apache-2.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
