Wraps Claude Code CLI as MCP tools: query, search, structured, ping, listSessions.

In-path gate · all MCP tools

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).

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

Limits of this verdict

- Semantic screen only - the deterministic conformance probe has not run on this server
- Confidence is reported but not yet calibrated (v1)
- Screen reads the tool description, not the live behavior
- advisory
- registry description only no input schema
- screen model 8b

Semantic screen: an LLM judge reads the tool description for hidden instructions (status PARTIAL). A pass means the description is not lying, not that the tool is safe: a high-capability tool with an honest description still warrants caution. The deterministic conformance probe has not been run on this server yet, so the screen here is semantic-only. Posture: advisory. Confidences are reported but not yet calibrated (calibrated=false at v1). Full verdict history is not shown on this page.

That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-07-31).

Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins io.github.hampsterx/claude-mcp-bridge’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

CLAUDE_CLI_PATH

Path to the claude CLI binary. Defaults to 'claude' on PATH.

CLAUDE_DEFAULT_MODEL

Shared default model for all tools. Overridden by per-tool CLAUDE_<TOOL>_MODEL vars (QUERY, SEARCH, STRUCTURED).

CLAUDE_QUERY_MODEL

Override model for the query tool.

CLAUDE_STRUCTURED_MODEL

Override model for the structured tool.

CLAUDE_SEARCH_MODEL

Override model for the search tool.

CLAUDE_FALLBACK_MODEL

Model to use when the primary model hits a quota error. Set to 'none' to disable fallback.

CLAUDE_MAX_CONCURRENT

Maximum concurrent Claude CLI subprocesses (default 3).

CLAUDE_BRIDGE_USE_API_KEY

Set to '1' to forward ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to the CLI. Default is subscription-first: the CLI uses existing Max/Pro session and API key is NOT forwarded. Opt in only if you want API billing.

CLAUDE_MAX_BUDGET_USD

Maximum USD spend per call (pass-through to --max-budget-usd). Only applies when using API key auth.

CLAUDE_QUERY_EFFORT

Reasoning effort for the query tool (low|medium|high|max).

CLAUDE_SEARCH_EFFORT

Reasoning effort for the search tool (low|medium|high|max).

Provenance

Each verdict is bound to a hash of the exact description it judged, so a re-crawl that changes the text produces a new record rather than silently inheriting this one. Verdict history is hash-chained and anchored to Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps (latest confirmed at block 960,209). Verify it yourself.
