acta-mcp

Enables contributing, challenging, discovering, verifying, and querying contestable public records from AI coding tools via MCP.

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.

// key findings
⚠️
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 3 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
Open source with a license and README
Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.
// tools this server exposes6 tools

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.

acta_contribute

Submit a typed contribution to the Acta public record. Questions have no evidence burden. Factual claims require a source or reasoning. Opinion/hypothesis claims require uncertainty. Predictions require resolution criteria, date, source, and rule.

acta_respond

Submit a response to an existing entry. Evidence requires source + stance. Challenges require target_assertion + basis + argument (min 20 chars). Updates require update_type. Resolutions require outcome + source + resolution_type.

acta_query

Browse the Acta public record. List topics (optionally filtered), get entries for a topic (with type/state filters), or look up a single entry with its responses.

acta_discover

Find actionable work across the Acta record. Surfaces contested records needing evidence, claims with no evidence, predictions approaching resolution, and recently active topics. This is the "where am I needed?" tool.

acta_verify

Verify the hash chain integrity for a specific topic. Returns chain length, chain head hash, and any integrity issues. Note: this is operator-served verification. For independent verification, use acta_export and run verify.js locally.

acta_export

Export the full hash chain for a topic. Returns all entries with hashes for independent verification using tools/verify.js. Use this when you need to audit the record independently.

// known CVEs in dependencies3 high

Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.

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

6/6 tools missing one or more hints — acta_contribute (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); acta_respond (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); acta_query (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@1.12.1 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.1 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

// 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 4 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
