zipnative MCP — ZIP creation, inspection, secure extraction & verification
ZIP MCP server: create, inspect, verify, extract, canonicalize, merge, modify. 15 tools
The current version, v1.1.0, was published to the official MCP registry on 2026-10-19. It is distributed as zipnative-mcp on npm, filed under Other by this index, and declares 8 environment variables. Removals and unreachable sources are measured across every server this index tracks, contract drift across the servers that answer in consecutive snapshots; the index's current counts put this record in context.
Using zipnative MCP — ZIP creation, inspection, secure extraction & verification 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).
Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate. Inspect first: curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | less

- - 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

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.
Own this server? Test a description on the public screen → It is a separate check from the verdict above, so the two can differ.
That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-10-24).
Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins zipnative MCP — ZIP creation, inspection, secure extraction & verification’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.

People vet a server before wiring it in. One line on your project site or docs answers that with an independent record: screening verdict, registry provenance, contract drift history. It stays current as new screens and drift events land.

Unset: every tool works on base64 only (no file I/O beyond the opt-in cache).
ZIPNATIVE_MCP_CACHE_DIROpt-in content-addressed response cache directory (absolute path) (SHA-256 keyed, 1h TTL, 256 MiB, oldest-written evicted first, plaintext at rest). Never caches zipPath / sourcePath inputs, file output, defaultDate='now', parallel, describe_engine or draft_governance_issue.
ZIPNATIVE_MCP_PORTServe Streamable HTTP on this loopback port (POST /mcp) instead of stdio (MCP 2026-07-28, stateless, legacy fallback). Unauthenticated unless ZIPNATIVE_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN is set.
ZIPNATIVE_MCP_HTTP_TOKENOpt-in bearer token for the HTTP transport (>= 16 chars, no whitespace; a weaker value refuses to start). When set, /mcp requires 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' or answers 401. Compared constant-time, never logged.
ZIPNATIVE_MCP_MAX_UNCOMPRESSED_BYTESOperator ceiling for limits.maxEntryUncompressedSize, limits.maxTotalUncompressedSize and limits.maxEntryCompressedSize in bytes (default 8589934592 = 8 GiB, the engine default). Integer >= 1024, read once at startup; an invalid value refuses to start. A per-call value above it is refused with LIMIT_CEILING_EXCEEDED.
ZIPNATIVE_MCP_MAX_ENTRIESOperator ceiling for limits.maxEntries and scan_zip_forward maxEntries (default 100000, the engine default; the scanner's default budget of 10000 is clamped to it, only an explicit value above it is refused). Integer >= 1, read once at startup; an invalid value refuses to start.
ZIPNATIVE_MCP_WORKERSOperator ceiling for create_zip parallel.workers (default 8; with no explicit workers the engine default max(1, min(cores - 1, 8)) applies, bounded by this ceiling; 0 disables worker threads and keeps compression on the calling thread). Integer >= 0, read once at startup; an invalid value refuses to start.
ZIPNATIVE_MCP_MAX_FILE_OUTPUT_BYTESOperator ceiling for every file written in outputMode='file' (create_zip, modify_zip, canonicalize_zip, merge_zip, extract_zip, inflate_raw), enforced while streaming (default 4294967296 = 4 GiB, the 1.0.0 behaviour). Integer >= 1048576, read once at startup; an invalid value refuses to start. Raise it to write Zip64 archives above 4 GiB into the sandbox (create_zip stream entries with zip64: true).
