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 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • list_phases

    List the lifecycle phases this server serves (setup, modify) and what each is for.

  • list_skills

    List the guidance Skills available on this server, with the phase each serves. Read a skill via its resource (skill://alter/ ).

  • get_started

    Begin or change an Alter integration. Without args: lists the phases. With `phase`: returns that phase's flows + a heuristic hint — classify the use case YOURSELF and call again with `goal` for the plan. If the use case spans multiple flows, run them sequentially.

  • next_step

    Return the next step for a flow. Pass the goal (flow id) and the id of the last completed step (omit `after` for the first step). Run each step's detect command FIRST and skip the run command when detection passes. The design step also returns that flow's complete starter ALTER_I

  • sdk_integration

    Return the Alter SDK wiring (install + client init + request) to write into the developer's codebase, for a language and setup goal.

  • sdk_pattern

    Return a runnable Alter SDK call pattern for a language: `proxy-call` (zero-egress proxy_request + HITL), `resolve-grant-by-user` (call as an end user via their delegated grant), `delegate-managed-secret` (the operator-side delegation step), or `resolve-ambiguous-grant` (an ident

  • troubleshoot

    Map a @alter-ai/cli exit code or error message to a remediation.

  • verify_integration

    Return a copy-pasteable recipe to VERIFY an integration works: `first-call` (code↔design, an audit row, correct attribution) or `per-user-isolation` (a multi-user/broker server runs two users under different credentials and rejects cross-user access). Guidance only — you run the

  • fetch_doc

    Fetch Alter documentation by slug (e.g. "quickstart"). Guides, indexes and skills are served in-band; generated provider operation and model pages link to the full public reference. Accepts any spelling the docs use: a bare slug, a leading slash, a #section anchor, a full docs.al

  • search_docs

    Search every bundled page of the Alter documentation (docs and skill pages) by keywords: returns the best-matching pages with the section and a snippet that matched. Use it when a flow step or doc did not point you at the page you need, instead of guessing slugs or listing every

  • list_providers

    List every provider with an ingested API spec in Alter's provider-spec catalog, with each spec's source and freshness. Optionally filter by `kind`. Start here, then call list_operations for a provider's operations.

  • list_operations

    List the API operations a provider exposes, live from Alter's provider-spec catalog (e.g. "what can I call on google?"). Returns operation ids + methods/paths, plus the spec's source and freshness. Omit `kind` to auto-detect the provider family; when the id exists in both oauth a

  • get_operation_schema

    Fetch one provider API operation's full contract — method, path, parameters, request/response schemas — live from Alter's provider-spec catalog, plus the spec's source and freshness. Get operation ids from list_operations first.

  • policy_language

    The authoritative grammar of Alter's runtime-policy language, live from the deployed backend: every authorable rule type with its JSON body schema, caps, authorable levels, worked examples, and fail-closed semantics. Call with no arguments for the overview; pass `rule_type` (e.g.

Common questions

Is Alter Onboarding safe?

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.

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 (0.4.2) reached the registry 9 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, Zendesk
