Inspectrum MCP Server

Claude plans it. GPT reviews it. You approve it. A plausible plan can commit an agent to a migration, authentication change, payment flow, compatibility break, or deployment that is expensive to undo. 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 TypeScript.

      "args": [
        "-y",
        "inspectrum"
