starlog-mcp

STARLOG is a documentation workflow MCP server for Claude Code that manages project rules, debug diaries with GitHub issue integration, and session tracking for context continuity.

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.

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.

init_project

Creates project structure with registries and HPI template. Use this when check() shows directory is not a STARLOG project. Args: path: Directory path for the STARLOG project name: Project name description: Project description giint_project_id: Optional GIINT project ID to link this STARLOG project

check

Verifies if directory is a STARLOG project. Always use this first to determine if you need to init_project or can proceed with orient.

orient

Returns full Captain's Log XML context for existing projects. Use this after check() confirms project exists to get complete project history and context.

rules

View project guidelines and standards. Use this to check what coding standards and project rules have been established.

update_rules

Replace all project rules with RulesEntry models.

add_rule

Create new project guideline or standard. Use this to establish coding standards, project conventions, or other guidelines during development.

delete_rule

Remove specific rule.

view_debug_diary

Check current project status and recent entries. Use this to review what's been discovered and logged during the current session.

update_debug_diary

Log real-time discoveries, bugs, insights during work. Use this frequently during your work session to track progress and issues.

view_starlog

Get registry paths where starlog data is stored. Returns the actual file paths to access the raw session data.

start_starlog

Begin tracked development session with goals and context. Use this to start a new work session after orient() provides project context.

end_starlog

Complete session with summary and outcomes. Use this to properly close your work session with a summary of what was accomplished.

retrieve_starlog

Selective historical retrieval.

starlog_guide

Returns STARLOG system workflow and tool usage guide.

query_project_rules

Query project rules brain for development guidance based on context. Args: path: Project path containing STARLOG rules context: Development context/question to query persona_id: Predefined persona ID. Available personas: - 'logical_philosopher': Rigorous logical analysis with explicit premises - 'se

list_most_recent_projects

List most recently used STARLOG projects with pagination.

Tool annotations

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

16/16 tools missing one or more hints — init_project (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); check (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); orient (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +13 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.

Descriptions match behaviour

1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — orient (line 70: with open(COURSE_STATE_FILE, 'w') as f:)

Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.

Tool inputs are validated

15/16 tool handlers declare input schemas (94%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

Tool handlers catch errors

Only 4/16 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (25%)

Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.

License file

No license file

Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Tool description accuracy

orient: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes

Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 8 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
