MCP server

Your assistant, architecture-aware.

Atlas runs as a Model Context Protocol server your AI assistant calls directly — nine tools over stdio, zero install.

MCP Server

One config block.
Your AI gains a sixth sense.

Atlas ships as a Model Context Protocol server. Drop it into Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf — anything that speaks MCP — and your assistant gets nine new tools for reasoning about your repo.

~/.claude.jsonstdio · zero deps

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlas": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@atlas/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ATLAS_API_KEY": "atlas_sk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Same shape works for Cursor, Windsurf and any MCP-compatible client. The server tells your agent — "after every edit, call atlas_should_recheck" — so awareness is automatic, not manual.

atlas_status

Where the server is pointed, when it last audited.

atlas_should_recheck

Convention trigger — the assistant calls this after every edit.

atlas_scan

Re-pull the connected repo and rebuild a fresh graph on the server.

atlas_audit

Full AI audit. Health score 0–100, top risks, file:line citations.

atlas_last_audit

Read the most recent audit from cache. Free, no AI call.

atlas_list_issues

Deterministic issues — cycles, god components, dead code, duplicates.

atlas_search_symbol

Locate any symbol in the graph by substring.

atlas_examine_node

AI-examine one symbol with full source + direct neighbours.

atlas_impact

Blast-radius: direct + transitive dependents before a refactor.

The toolset

Nine tools, one server.

The same engine that powers the dashboard, exposed to Claude Code, Cursor and Windsurf over a single stdio connection.

scan · examine

Index a repository into a typed knowledge graph and inspect any symbol — its dependencies, fan-in/out and complexity.

audit · security

Run the architectural detectors and the security scan, then return only the issues that matter — structured, not raw source.

impact · trace

Ask what a change touches before you make it. Blast-radius analysis across the live graph, in a single call.

context · explain

Bounded, structured context for any node — so your assistant reasons about real architecture instead of guessing.

# add Atlas to any stdio MCP client
