Candor Overview

The candor MCP server exposes read-only queries over candor-ts reports for TypeScript projects. It lets agents inspect per-function effects, trace callers, identify direct sources and transitive inheritors, map module effects, and rank unresolved blind spots. Reach for candor when an agent needs evidence about network, filesystem, database, execution, environment, or other side effects without modifying the analyzed project.

Primary Use Cases for Candor:
  • Inspect a function's transitive side effects
  • Trace the blast radius of a database or network helper
  • Find unresolved calls ranked by affected callers
  • Review module-level effect boundaries
