Questions

What is the CodeNib MCP server?

Find source context and trace calls across languages in Claude Code, Codex and other MCP agents.

What tools does CodeNib expose?

3 in total: 3 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is CodeNib safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (40/100) and found 10 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 CodeNib need?

It reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, CODENIB_DEMO_API_KEY, CODENIB_DEMO_WIKI_API_KEY, CODENIB_EMBEDDING_API_KEY, CODENIB_EMBEDDING_API_KEY_ENV, CODENIB_WIKI_MEDIA_API_KEY, CODENIB_WIKI_VISUAL_FACTS_API_KEY, GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS, OPENAI_API_KEY and OPENROUTER_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 CodeNib run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as codenib-qa-demo at 0.1.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (64ad85239484), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
