Target Reference Server
Umbra Overview
The Umbra MCP server connects AI agents to Umbra’s local code-trust checks for repository scanning, write guarding, and score retrieval. It exposes `scan_repo`, `guard_content`, and `get_score` through the MCP interface, while Umbra’s underlying scanner reports evidence-backed findings and a 0–100 score. Reach for it when an MCP-native coding agent needs to verify generated code or inspect content before it is written. The package runs locally through `npx` and requires Node.js 20 or newer.
Primary Use Cases for Umbra:
- Scan an AI-generated repository before review
- Guard agent-written file content before it lands
- Retrieve a repository trust score in an MCP workflow
- Gate generated code using Umbra’s score
