Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Deterministic intent preflight before your agent builds: six gates, keyless, no model call.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

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

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: PATHMODE_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: PATHMODE_API_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pathmodeio": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@pathmode/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PATHMODE_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add pathmodeio --env PATHMODE_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y @pathmode/mcp-server

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pathmodeio": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@pathmode/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PATHMODE_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "pathmodeio": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@pathmode/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PATHMODE_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • PATHMODE_API_KEY secret env
    Optional: Your Pathmode API key for team features (dependency graph, workspace context). Get one from Settings > API Keys in the Pathmode app.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Pathmodeio MCP 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: PATHMODE_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 (1.43.3) reached the registry 17 days 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?

@pathmode/mcp-server

Find the product decisions a request leaves open, before your coding agent builds. A deterministic preflight: six calibrated checks, keyless, no model call.

This repository dogfoods the same workflow: read its intent.md.

This repository is the issue tracker for the package, not its source. The server is developed in Pathmode's private monorepo and published to npm from there. This repo previously held a hand-copied snapshot of the source, which drifted several versions behind the published package. It no longer carries that copy, so there is nothing here to read out of date.

To read the code, unpack the published tarball:

npm pack @pathmode/mcp-server && tar -xzf pathmode-mcp-server-*.tgz

Install

Add to .mcp.json in your project root:

{

"mcpServers": { "pathmode": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@pathmode/mcp-server"] } } }

No account and no API key. Specs live in intent.md in your repo, as plain markdown you own. Set PATHMODE_API_KEY to sync intent and evidence across a team.

See it work

Given one instruction, implement FN-412, in Fieldnote (a fictional billing app whose ticket asks for a Cancel plan button), an agent with this server wrote no product code. It found that the only cancel code in the repository was written for refunds and would take paid days away from every customer who cancels, drafted an intent.md with four open product choices, and stopped: preflight passed 6/6, still blocked by those choices. The recorded run lists every tool call, and npx -y @pathmode/cli preflight on that branch reproduces the verdict.
