Since Cutoff MCP Server

Your coding assistant's training data stops before your dependencies' latest releases, so it can write calls your pinned versions no longer accept. since-cutoff shows where your code uses an API that changed after the model's training cutoff, and writes the short notes your assistant needs to avoid the old form. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with agents md, api changes and developer tools and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Since Cutoff

before you install - you'll need

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

Claude Code

claude mcp add mohammadhijjawi97-since-cutoff -- uvx since-cutoff

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mohammadhijjawi97-since-cutoff": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "since-cutoff"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
