Carrick MCP Server

Coding agents working across full-stack and multi-service codebases routinely rebuild existing helpers, trust stale type definitions, and modify API contracts without knowing who consumes them. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.

Teams that work with code intelligence, developer tools and github actions and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in Rust.

01 · Install Carrick

before you install - you'll need

The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.

Claude Code

claude mcp add carrick-tools-carrick --transport http https://api.carrick.tools/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "carrick-tools-carrick": {
      "url": "https://api.carrick.tools/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as remote - your agent's requests go to api.carrick.tools

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

registry namespace io.github.carrick-tools is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
