74/100

hcom-mcp

A control-plane MCP server for launching and supervising hcom-managed agents, running as a single persistent HTTP server to coordinate multiple sessions.

Emerging. No concerning findings. Grades remain capped until the project builds reputation through adoption. 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.

adopt

Adopt an existing hcom agent into managed lifecycle. Creates an adopted registry record for an agent that was not spawned by hcom-mcp, enabling stop/kill management. Requires the agent to be live in hcom. By default the adoptee is notified via an hcom inform message; pass silent=true to suppress.

inspect

Inspect any live hcom agent: status, transcript, events, or terminal screen. Returns managementStatus (managed/adopted/unmanaged) along with inspect data.

launch

Launch a headless hcom agent. Use a preset name for configured defaults, or provide harness+model directly for a bare launch. Preset defaults (model, tag, prompt) can be overridden with explicit parameters.

launch_topology

Launch multiple agents from a topology preset. Rolls back all if any fail.

stop

Stop (disconnect) a managed or adopted agent

kill

Kill a managed or adopted agent and close its terminal pane

list_managed

List all hcom agents managed by this MCP server in the current workspace

list_all

List all live hcom agents visible to the local hcom CLI

list_presets

List merged agent presets available to this server in the current workspace

list_topologies

List merged topology presets available to this server in the current workspace

config_paths

Show the config and registry paths used by this server

status

Show a quick health and orientation summary for hcom-mcp

list_models

List available models for harness(es). Supports live discovery where the harness CLI exposes a catalog and bundled catalogs where the harness model set is intentionally curated.

prune

Remove stale registry records for workspace. By default, targets managed_lost and adopted_lost records older than 7 days (dry-run only). Use confirm=true to actually remove records. Use includeStopped=true to also target managed_stopped and adopted_stopped records older than 30 days.

thread_seed

Create a workflow thread. Auto-includes the hub (calling agent) in the member list so the hub receives thread messages. Use instead of raw hcom send for thread creation when hcom-mcp is available.

thread_inspect

Query thread events with structured output. Read-only. Use to inspect what happened on a workflow thread.

// environment variables
To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.

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 — adopt (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); inspect (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); launch (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.

Tool inputs are validated

14/16 tool handlers declare input schemas (88%)

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

Tool handlers catch errors

14/16 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (88%)

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

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

// 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.
