Cortex (Remskill/Cortex) is an MCP server listed on the M8ven Trust Index. It scores 64 out of 100, grade C. It declares 6 tools. No publisher has claimed this listing.
Enables AI coding assistants to semantically search and retrieve relevant code patterns, documentation, and implementations from a codebase via MCP tools.
Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.
cortex_querySemantic search for relevant context in the knowledge base. Use this BEFORE implementing features to find existing code, patterns, and guidelines.
cortex_syncSync files to the vector database. Syncs all documentation and source files by default, or specific files if provided.
cortex_statsShow database statistics (total chunks, files, size, last sync time)
cortex_list_filesList all embedded files with chunk counts and update times
cortex_initCheck Cortex initialization status and service health. Use this to verify everything is working.
cortex_deleteDelete embeddings from database. Can delete specific files or all data. Requires confirmation.
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk has cross-client data leak via shared server/transport instance reuse
Anthropic's MCP TypeScript SDK has a ReDoS vulnerability
glob CLI: Command injection via -c/--cmd executes matches with shell:true

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
6/6 tools missing one or more hints — cortex_query (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); cortex_sync (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); cortex_stats (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +3 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.25.1 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.25.1 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Add it once and ask Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to grade a server, surface CVEs, check the publisher, and suggest safer alternatives — before you install.
