Veto MCP Server
An MCP server that runs locally on your machine, plugs into Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, and JetBrains using your existing subscriptions - giving every AI a council of specialist agents, local LLM support, SDD agents, playwright automation, persistent cross-platform memory, a self-learning router that re-tunes its tier thresholds automatically every 20 recorded task…
People who work with agentic ai, code review and codex and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Veto
before you install - you'll need
VETO_COMPACT
Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.
Claude Code
claude mcp add jigyasudham-veto -- npx -y @jigyasudham/veto Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"jigyasudham-veto": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@jigyasudham/veto"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence
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 local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
license MIT - declared in the repository
npm package @jigyasudham/veto - published under the repo owner's npm scope (@jigyasudham)
registry namespace io.github.jigyasudham is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
03 · What Veto can do
Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.
Limitations (from the README)
Claude, Codex and Gemini each keep notes in their own memory: Claude's per-project memory folders, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.gemini/GEMINI.md. Each AI learns something, and the others never hear of it; the same lesson gets learned twice in two projects. Veto reads those notes and can share them where they help: across your projects, and between your AIs. > ⚠️ What turning it on means > > - Across your projects: a note a

Bug fix: Veto did not know it was running in Antigravity. Antigravity names itself antigravity-client when it starts Veto, which Veto did not recognise. A session saved there was labelled claude unless the model said…

Bug fix: Antigravity never loaded Veto. Antigravity reads its MCP servers from ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json; veto init wrote ~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/mcp_config.json, which it does not read, and veto doctor…

What is Veto?
An MCP server that runs locally on your machine, plugs into Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, and JetBrains using your existing subscriptions - giving every AI a council of specialist agents, local LLM support, SDD agents, playwright automation, persistent cross-platform memory, a self-learning router that re-tunes its tier thresholds automatically every 20 recorded task…
Is Veto still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-09-30, its last commit was 2026-09-27 and it shipped 10+ releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Veto?
Run `npx -y @jigyasudham/veto`. The README documents one environment variable (VETO_COMPACT) to set first. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Veto run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
