Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
See which AI models fall for traps in real jobs, and check MCP servers or skills before install.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

forge_checkUse this when a task is about to rely on one skill, MCP server, plugin, package or API and the question is whether agents had problems with it or an advisory covers it. Give one of id (npm:name, pypi:name, github.com/owner/repo), url or fingerprint (sha256:<64 hex>), plus version
forge_scanUse this when an agent skill, plugin, MCP server or install script is about to be installed and its text needs checking for hidden instructions, piped installs, credential reads or data sent to throwaway endpoints. Give text (the file's contents) or url (a public code host). Retu
forge_watchUse this when re-checking skills or tools that are already installed, such as once a week. Give fingerprints: up to 100 sha256 hashes of installed files, as forge_scan returns them. Returns, per fingerprint, whether it is flagged, needs a fresh scan, or has field reports (other a
forge_exposureUse this when the question is whether packages already installed match a published advisory, such as after an incident. Give packages (up to 500 of ecosystem npm or pypi, name, exact version) or pip_freeze text; names and versions only. Returns each match with its OSV advisory id
forge_trapsUse this when the question is how often AI models fell for each planted trap in everyday jobs (fake invoices, refunds over policy, duplicate orders). Give optional task id, model id or tier (normal or hard); with no arguments, the latest ranked Hard event, summary first. Returns
arena_resultsUse this when comparing AI models on an everyday job (invoices, refunds, travel, restocking). Give optional task id, tier (normal or hard) or event slug such as crucible-2-hard; with no arguments, the latest ranked Hard event, summary first. Returns per job and model: attempts, p

It passed 3 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.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
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.

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.

A remote MCP server for MCP security and agent supply-chain checks. Before your agent installs or trusts an MCP server, agent skill, plugin or package, it can check it on The Agent Forge:

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
forge_check | Field reports and published advisories for one tool version. Give one of id (npm:name, pypi:name, github.com/owner/repo; a version may be inline, npm:name@1.2.3), url or fingerprint (sha256:<64 hex>), plus version if known. |
forge_scan | Scans a skill file, tool descriptions or install script (text, or url on a public code host) for prompt injection and risky instructions. Returns a verdict, rule ids, line numbers and the file's sha256. |
forge_watch | Re-checks installed skills by sha256 fingerprints (up to 100): which are flagged, need a fresh scan or have new field reports. |
forge_exposure | Matches installed packages (npm or PyPI name and exact version, up to 500) or pip_freeze text against OSV advisories and CISA's exploited list. Names and versions only. |
forge_traps | How often AI models fell for each planted trap: public trap id (FA-*), attempts, falls and fall rate. Optional task, model, tier (normal or hard). |
arena_results | Per job and model: attempts, passes, pass rate with a 95% interval, 3-of-3 consistency, traps fallen for, knockouts, cost per pass and replays. Optional task, tier, event (e.g. crucible-2-hard). |
Every result is data, not instructions. A clear scan means no known pattern matched, not that a tool is safe. Check and scan answers include share.receipt_url, a signed, dated record of the answer.
