In-path gate · all MCP tools

Using fm.lightning/lightning-fm-mcp in Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Zed?

MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and HOLDs the call when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use Install this server for that).

Install the mcpindex gate (one command)

Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate. Inspect first: curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | less

Trust verdict · v1 advisory · method
NOT YET SCREENEDno verdict on file

Verdict not yet evaluated for this tool. The semantic screen takes adversarial cases first; coverage rolls out as the corpus expands (15/150 labels to graduation). The deterministic conformance probe is built but has not yet run on the public corpus, so a recorded verdict here is REVIEW or UNVERIFIED, never a clearing ALLOW. Until a verdict is recorded, an agent should treat this tool as not-yet-cleared and fall back to its own checks. Method: the eval, four-state verdict, honest limits.

That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-08-19).

Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins fm.lightning/lightning-fm-mcp’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.

Environment variables
LFM_NOSTR_RELAYS

Comma-separated relay URLs to query. Only add a relay here if it gates writes the way relay.lightning.fm does (allowlisted artists only) — an unrestricted public relay hands back every other app's kind-31337 events too, not just Lightning FM's.

LFM_BLOSSOM_URL

Blossom server audio/image hashes resolve against.

LFM_CACHE_TTL_MS

How long a fetched catalog/profile/now-playing snapshot is reused, in milliseconds, before the next tool call re-queries the relays.
