Questions
What is the lockstep MCP server?
Keep your team's AI coding agents coordinated — without sharing source code.
What tools does lockstep expose?
22 in total: 20 read-only, 2 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is lockstep safe to connect to an agent?
No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it D (61/100) and found 4 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 lockstep need?
It reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, INPUT_GITHUB_TOKEN, INPUT_TOKEN, LOCKSTEP_CI_TOKEN, LOCKSTEP_TOKEN, TYPESAFE_API_KEY and VOYAGE_API_KEY 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 lockstep run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as @lockstep/web at 0.1.0.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (e2ed6f51320c), read on 2026-10-10. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
