This one has been quiet for a while

Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

Available tools 14

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

sdk
sdk_integration
Return the Alter SDK wiring (install + client init + request) to write into the developer's codebase, for a language and setup goal.
sdk_pattern
Return a runnable Alter SDK call pattern for a language: `proxy-call` (zero-egress proxy_request + HITL), `resolve-grant-by-user` (call as an end user via their delegated grant), `delegate-managed-secret` (the operator-side delegation step), or `resolve-ambiguous-grant` (an identity-mode call matched several of one user's grants: choose deliberately, never the first, and persist it; ask the developer at design time whether users can hold several accounts per provider). Use AFTER `sdk_integration` has wired the client.
doc
fetch_doc
Fetch Alter documentation by slug (e.g. "quickstart"). Guides, indexes and skills are served in-band; generated provider operation and model pages link to the full public reference. Accepts any spelling the docs use: a bare slug, a leading slash, a #section anchor, a full docs.alterauth.com URL, or an older path that now redirects. Omit the slug to list every page.
docs
search_docs
Search every bundled page of the Alter documentation (docs and skill pages) by keywords: returns the best-matching pages with the section and a snippet that matched. Use it when a flow step or doc did not point you at the page you need, instead of guessing slugs or listing every page; then read one with fetch_doc and its slug.
next
next_step
Return the next step for a flow. Pass the goal (flow id) and the id of the last completed step (omit `after` for the first step). Run each step's detect command FIRST and skip the run command when detection passes. The design step also returns that flow's complete starter ALTER_INTEGRATION.md.
operation
get_operation_schema
Fetch one provider API operation's full contract — method, path, parameters, request/response schemas — live from Alter's provider-spec catalog, plus the spec's source and freshness. Get operation ids from list_operations first.
operations
list_operations
List the API operations a provider exposes, live from Alter's provider-spec catalog (e.g. "what can I call on google?"). Returns operation ids + methods/paths, plus the spec's source and freshness. Omit `kind` to auto-detect the provider family; when the id exists in both oauth and managed you'll be asked to pass `kind`. Machine-readable rows ride in `structuredContent` (see this tool's outputSchema) — read those rather than parsing the prose.
phases
list_phases
List the lifecycle phases this server serves (setup, modify) and what each is for.
policy
policy_language
The authoritative grammar of Alter's runtime-policy language, live from the deployed backend: every authorable rule type with its JSON body schema, caps, authorable levels, worked examples, and fail-closed semantics. Call with no arguments for the overview; pass `rule_type` (e.g. "content_match") for one type's full grammar. Use it before authoring rules with `alter policy rules create` — never guess a body shape. Vocabulary: the dashboard's "Runtime policies" surface, the docs' "policy", and `alter policy` are one feature, and the dashboard's "Require human approval" type is the `require_approval` rule type (its grant-editor block is the grant-level baseline of the same gate). The same grammar is what policy files carry: `alter policy validate|test|plan|apply` review rules in Git and CI, and a rule with a `code_owner` is changed through its file, never with `rules update`. Workflow prose: the `set-policy` modify flow (`get_started` with phase=modify), fetch_doc("guides/set-policies"), fetch_doc("guides/add-human-in-the-loop-approvals"), fetch_doc("guides/policy-as-code"), and fetch_doc("reference/cli/commands/policy").
providers
list_providers
List every provider with an ingested API spec in Alter's provider-spec catalog, with each spec's source and freshness. Optionally filter by `kind`. Start here, then call list_operations for a provider's operations.
skills
list_skills
List the guidance Skills available on this server, with the phase each serves. Read a skill via its resource (skill://alter/<name>).
started
get_started
Begin or change an Alter integration. Without args: lists the phases. With `phase`: returns that phase's flows + a heuristic hint — classify the use case YOURSELF and call again with `goal` for the plan. If the use case spans multiple flows, run them sequentially.
troubleshoot
troubleshoot
Map a @alter-ai/cli exit code or error message to a remediation.
verify
verify_integration
Return a copy-pasteable recipe to VERIFY an integration works: `first-call` (code↔design, an audit row, correct attribution) or `per-user-isolation` (a multi-user/broker server runs two users under different credentials and rejects cross-user access). Guidance only — you run the commands.

Alter Onboarding — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Alter Onboarding do?
It exposes 14 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: fetch_doc, get_operation_schema, get_started, list_operations, list_phases, list_providers and 8 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Alter Onboarding working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 50 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Alter Onboarding still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Alter Onboarding?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Alter Onboarding need an API key?
No. Alter Onboarding completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 14 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Alter Onboarding?
It answers our handshake in 50 ms on average, which is faster than 99% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
