Questions
What is the Skylos MCP server?
Open source local-first PR scanner that finds dead code, security bugs, secrets, quality regressions, and AI-code mistakes before merge. For first timers refer to https://duriantaco.github.io/skylos/repo-map/
What tools does Skylos expose?
15 in total: 12 read-only, 3 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Skylos safe to connect to an agent?
No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (24/100) and found 12 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.
What credentials does Skylos need?
It reads ACCOUNT_SECRET, ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN, ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, API_KEY, API_SECRET, AUTH_TOKEN, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, DATABASE_PASSWORD, DB_PASSWORD, EXPO_PUBLIC_TOKEN and GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does Skylos run?
It speaks sse, stdio and streamable-http, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as skylos-vscode-extension at 0.6.0.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (acfae2d78695), read on 2026-09-30. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
