Common questions
Is MCP Audit safe?
It passed 1 of 1 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?
You need to fill in: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.4) reached the registry 6 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.
What can I use instead?

Archonics MCP Audit Server
Free-tier context engineering audits for production AI agents, delivered as MCP tools you can call from Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible client.
What you get: top-3 findings on your system prompts, tool definitions, or context packing, on demand, no account needed.
What it costs: nothing. The free scan is genuinely free. Upgrade paths to the $49 Instant Audit and $750 Full Audit are surfaced in the response footer; they're not paywalls on this tool.
Why this exists
Most production agent failures aren't model failures — they're context engineering failures. Ambiguous instructions, underspecified tools, bloated context, no regression tests on prompt changes. Those problems are spottable by a trained reader. Archonics has trained that reader and published it as an MCP tool so you can get a second opinion on your agent's context without filing a support ticket.
The underlying audit engine applies Archonics Audit Methodology v1.0, the same spec that drives our paid audits.
Tools
audit_system_prompt
Paste a system prompt. Get back the three most important context engineering issues in it, ranked by severity, with specific recommendations.
Covers: role clarity, instruction conflicts, negative space, priority structure when instructions conflict, token efficiency, format specification precision, failure-mode coverage.
audit_tool_definition
Paste a tool/function definition. Get back the three most important issues affecting how reliably the model will call it.
Covers: description quality (the "when to use this tool" question), parameter schema precision, parameter documentation, error response design, discoverability.
audit_context_packing
Paste a representative context payload (or describe it structurally). Get back the three most important efficiency and quality issues.
Covers: content inventory, redundancy across sections, freshness/relevance, ordering, truncation risk, prompt-cache utilization.
Installation
Claude Desktop
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{"mcpServers": { "archonics-audit": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@archonics/mcp-audit"], "env": { "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-anthropic-api-key-here" } } } }
Cursor
Add to your .cursor/mcp.json:
{"mcpServers": { "archonics-audit": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@archonics/mcp-audit"], "env": { "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-anthropic-api-key-here" } } } }
Claude Code
claude mcp add archonics-audit npx -y @archonics/mcp-auditThen set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in your environment.
Why does it need my Anthropic API key?
The audit engine runs on Claude. You bring your own API key so:
- Audit submissions go directly from your machine to Anthropic's API, never through Archonics servers.
- Your costs are transparent — a typical audit uses 2,000–4,000 tokens, well under a penny.
- There's no "free but actually limited" rate-limit surprise. Your API key, your limits.
If you'd rather not bring your own key, use the $49 Instant Audit at agent.market — we cover the API costs and return a full-methodology audit PDF.
Privacy
Submitted content is processed ephemerally. No prospect content is retained on Archonics infrastructure or used to train any model. The API call pattern is: your client → your Anthropic API key → Anthropic → your client. Archonics servers are not in this path.
Aggregated, anonymized patterns across many audits may inform improvements to the methodology — "18 of 20 audited systems lacked prompt-regression tests" — but specific content never feeds that process.
Details: archonics.ai/privacy
Upgrade paths
If the free scan surfaces issues worth fixing, two paid tiers go deeper:
- Instant Audit — $49 USDC via x402. Full methodology applied programmatically to a system you submit. 5-10 page PDF report covering all four dimensions (prompt, tools, context, eval) rather than just three findings in one dimension. Listed at agent.market/archonics.
- Full Audit — $750. Human-reviewed audit of a complete agent system. 15-25 page report tuned to your team's context. Contact audits@archonics.ai.
