Overllm MCP Server

Catch the LLM/AI calls you didn't need. overllm is a small, fast linter with one job: find the places in your code where you call an AI model to do something plain code does better. You called GPT to parse a date. You called a model to extract JSON that json.loads already handles. You are paying latency, money, and nondeterminism for a regex. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting developer tools tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Overllm

before you install - you'll need

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

Claude Code

claude mcp add theadamdanielsson-overllm -- uvx overllm

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "theadamdanielsson-overllm": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "overllm"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

repo age created 2026-07-03 - young repo, little track record yet

license MIT - declared in the repository

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

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