At a Glance & Executive Verdict

Prolog Reasoner

Code Execution · Local stdio

Quality: 57/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required

Outsource MCP

Code Execution · Local stdio

Quality: 51/100 (Good) | Auth: API Key required

Verdict Summary: Choose Prolog Reasoner if you need specialized Code Execution tools running via a local process. Choose Outsource MCP if your workspace requires Code Execution integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Prolog Reasoner Tools (5)

execute_prolog

Execute Prolog code and return reasoning results. Write Prolog facts and rules, then run a query against them. Supports CLP(FD) constraints, negation-as-failure, and all standard SWI-Prolog features.

list_rule_bases

List all saved rule bases with description and tags. Returns ``{"rule_bases": [{"name": str, "description": str, "tags": list[str]}, ...]}`` sorted by name. Metadata is extracted from the leading ``% description:`` / ``% tags:`` comments of each rule base file (see §4.10).

get_rule_base

Retrieve the Prolog source of a saved rule base.

save_rule_base

Save a named rule base containing Prolog rules that can be reused across ``execute_prolog`` calls. Use this for stable, reusable knowledge (e.g. ``piece_moves`` for chess piece movement rules). For one-time facts, include them directly in ``prolog_code`` instead.

delete_rule_base
