Topos MCP Server

the agent harness for structural code quality Topos measures complexity, coupling, risky data flows, and agent cognitive load, then gives your agent a concrete target from SLOP to PLATINUM. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Rust.

01 · Install Topos

Claude Code

claude mcp add krv-labs-topos -- uvx topos-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "krv-labs-topos": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "topos-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 local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license BSD-3-Clause - declared in the repository

pypi package topos-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.Krv-Labs is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
