Trovex MCP Server
trovex: one canonical doc for your coding agents, ~60% fewer tokens. Your coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, any MCP client) reread the repo every session to work out which .md is current, then answer from a guess. You pay for that on every session, every agent, every teammate. 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 HTML.

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 AGPL-3.0 - declared in the repository
pypi package trovex - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.TsukumoHQ is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

06 · Trovex FAQ
What is Trovex?
trovex: one canonical doc for your coding agents, ~60% fewer tokens. Your coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, any MCP client) reread the repo every session to work out which .md is current, then answer from a guess. You pay for that on every session, every agent, every teammate. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
Is Trovex still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-22 and it shipped 10+ releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Trovex?
Run `uvx trovex`. The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Trovex run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
