Opa Mcp Server vs Codeinspectus
In-depth architectural comparison of the Opa Mcp Server and Codeinspectus MCP servers. Compare execution transports, security boundaries, tool capabilities, quality scores, and ready-to-paste client installation snippets for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.
At a Glance & Executive Verdict
Opa Mcp Server
Security · Local stdio
Quality: 55/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Codeinspectus
Security · Local stdio
Quality: 63/100 (Good) | Auth: API Key required
Verdict Summary: Choose Opa Mcp Server if you need specialized Security tools running via a local process. Choose Codeinspectus if your workspace requires Security integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.
Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Opa Mcp Server when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Security domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
You have access to required keys: OPA_BINARY, REGAL_BINARY, OPA_URL, OPA_MCP_ALLOWED_PATHS.
Open Policy Agent (OPA) and Rego policy toolkit. 32 tools spanning authoring (format, lint, check, deps), evaluation (eval, test, bench, coverage), and OPA REST control (policies, data, decisions, compile). Wraps the OPA CLI and the Regal linter, with AI-assisted helpers for explaining decisions, generating test skeletons, and suggesting fixes.
Local-first, zero-egress security scanner for AI-generated / "vibe-coded" JS/TS. Bundles Opengrep, Gitleaks & Trivy behind one CWE-keyed schema and adds AI-code-specific checks (client-side secret exposure, Supabase RLS, prompt-injection & LLM-output XSS sinks). No account, no telemetry.
Category & Scope
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Opa Mcp Server Tools (52)
rego_format
Format Rego source. Wraps `opa fmt`. Idempotent.
rego_check
Type-check and validate Rego. Wraps `opa check`.
rego_lint
Run Regal across a file or directory. Returns findings grouped by category. **Requires `regal` on `PATH` or `REGAL_BINARY` set.
rego_parse_ast
Parse Rego to AST JSON. Wraps `opa parse`.
rego_inspect
Inspect a bundle or directory: packages, rules, annotations. Wraps `opa inspect`.
rego_capabilities
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Opa Mcp Server is categorized under Security and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Codeinspectus belongs to Security using local stdio subprocess. Select Opa Mcp Server when you need capabilities focused on security and Codeinspectus when you require tools for security.
Return the capabilities (built-ins, future keywords) understood by the bundled OPA.
rego_deps
Static dependency analysis: rule-level data references and cross-package calls.
rego_migrate_v1
Migrate Rego v0 source to v1 syntax. Runs `opa fmt --rego-v1` then validates with `opa check --v1-compatible`. Returns `{ original, migrated, changed, valid, errors }`.
rego_check_schema
Check Rego against a JSON Schema. Validates that every `input.*` field the policy reads exists in the schema using `opa check --schema`. Accepts inline schema or a path to a JSON Schema file on disk.
rego_eval
Evaluate a query against a policy and input. The bread-and-butter tool.
rego_eval_with_explain
Evaluate with `--explain=full` and return a structured trace.
rego_eval_with_profile
Evaluate with `--profile` and return per-rule timing and evaluation counts.

Codeinspectus Tools (6)
codeinspectus_scan
Full local scan of a path (engines + AI checks). Returns CWE-keyed findings, detected technologies, exact native-pack and Pub dependency coverage, remediations, framework tags, and three-state repository evidence for supported runtime controls.
codeinspectus_rescan
Re-scan after fixes; diffs vs a prior scan → resolved / remaining / introduced, with fresh technology and pack coverage.
codeinspectus_compliance_report
Per-framework **code-level control coverage** (not certification).
codeinspectus_explain_finding
Deep explanation + full remediation for one finding.
codeinspectus_generate_sbom
CycloneDX/SPDX SBOM using Trivy plus native Pub inventory/fallback (written to the managed dir by default, or a path you choose).
codeinspectus_list_rules
Active detectors, native-pack inventory/rule ownership, engine versions, detection-DB + Trivy/Pub DB provenance and freshness, and structured machine setup/repair state.
