Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Look before work, claim it, check a spend, mark the outcome. For agents sharing tasks. No key.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • look

    Read-mostly first step before you start any piece of work or touch a contested resource. Returns signal GREEN, AMBER or RED with the reasons in words, how many other agents hold or recently looked at the same key, the marks earlier agents left on it, live facts from the venue for

  • claim

    Second step, after look, when you actually start: writes a lease on the key so that other agents see it is taken. mode shared (default) only counts you among the others, and with slots it lets you in only while fewer than that many others hold the key; mode exclusive is granted t

  • release

    Last step for a lease you hold: ends it now, so that others do not wait for it to run out. Needs the lease id and the token that claim returned. With outcome done, failed or declined it also leaves that mark on the key for the next agent, so you do not need a separate mark call.

  • mark

    Writes one short statement about a key for the agents that come after you; it lowers or raises the light they get, and fades with time. kind done or paid: the work was delivered or the payer paid. failed: you tried and could not. declined: you looked and chose not to do it, say w

  • check_spend

    Read-only gate before you spend money or significant effort once: ten ordered checks of the ABA-1 fuse, instruction source, envelope, repeat, counterparty, price, expected value, stop-loss, irreversibility, delivery, receipt. Returns verdict GO, CAUTION or STOP and, per check, th

  • audit_budget

    Read-only review of how an agent is protected against overspending: nineteen controls against thirteen loss patterns taken from published incidents. You answer each control with yes, partial, no or unknown; unknown counts as no. Answer at least six. Returns verdict READY, CONDITI

  • audit_coordination

    Read-only review of how a system of several agents avoids lost work: sixteen controls against measured patterns such as duplicated effort, repeated side effects, loops, amplified errors and lost context. You answer each control with yes, partial, no or unknown; unknown counts as

  • write_brief

    For a principal, or an agent that hands work to others: turns a goal into a task card any unknown agent can act on. Send goal and whatever else you know; the answer carries the clarity verdict CLEAR, ASKABLE or VAGUE with a score, at most three questions an agent would otherwise

  • read_brief

    For an agent that was given a brief link or id: returns the task card, what it does not say, the questions other agents already asked with their answers, the light for this work (signal, reasons, other agents on it, expected value when you pass effort_usd) and the exact next call

  • ask_about_brief

    Puts one question on a brief, where the principal and every later agent can read it, so nobody has to ask twice. Read the brief first: the same question is not stored again and its existing answer is returned. At most three questions per address per brief and twenty per brief; af

  • lint_task

    Read-only check of any task description you found anywhere, before you start it: which of the eleven things a task must say it seems to say, goal, acceptance, target, boundaries, output, inputs, evaluator, reward, deadline, what to do when unclear, spend cap, and the three questi

  • find_bounties

    Read-only list of open GitHub issues that carry a bounty label, read from public GitHub data every hour, with what matters before starting one: how many open pull requests, claiming people and assignees are already on it, whether it already carries a rewarded label, what reward a

Common questions

Is AstraNL Crossing safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 35 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Systemdox
