NEAT MCP Server

NEAT solves the AI coding context problem. It constructs a live deterministic model of your codebase - static code and live runtime behavior fused into one graph - and hands your AI agents the grounded, full-stack context they need to query, code, debug, and write rules against it. This achieves the following: Coding LLMs hallucinate less & are more accurate.

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

01 · Install NEAT

before you install - you'll need

Set NEAT_AUTH_TOKEN, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS, NEAT_AUTH_PROXY before connecting. NEAT_CORE_URL is optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add neat-technologies-neat -- npx -y @neat.is/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neat-technologies-neat": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@neat.is/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 Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

npm package @neat.is/mcp - the @neat.is scope differs from the repo owner (neat-technologies); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.neat-technologies is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

What is NEAT?

Is NEAT still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-24 and it shipped 10+ releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install NEAT?

Run `npx -y @neat.is/mcp`. The README documents 5 environment variables (NEAT_CORE_URL, NEAT_AUTH_TOKEN, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT…) to set first. Set NEAT_AUTH_TOKEN, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS, NEAT_AUTH_PROXY before connecting. NEAT_CORE_URL is optional or environment-specific per the README. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does NEAT 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.
