Questions

What is the MRSF MCP server?

Markdown Review Sidecar Format (MRSF) v1.0 - Sidemark

What tools does MRSF expose?

13 in total: 8 read-only, 4 that write, and 1 that can delete or overwrite (mrsf_delete). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is MRSF safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (56/100) 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. Separately from the audit: 1 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.

What credentials does MRSF need?

No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.

How does MRSF run?

It speaks sse and stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as mrsf-vscode at 0.6.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (bd28787b8e60), read on 2026-10-09. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
