01 · Install Sentinal MCP

before you install - you'll need

REDIS_URL

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add musaraf-m-sentinal -- npx -y @md-musaraf/sentinal-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "musaraf-m-sentinal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@md-musaraf/sentinal-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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 @md-musaraf/sentinal-mcp - the @md-musaraf scope differs from the repo owner (musaraf-m); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.Musaraf-M is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
