In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

    os.setuid(COLLECTOR_UID)

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.

palimpsest
get_palimpsest_bri_context
Return pinned source readiness and national WDI coverage for CPEC, Gwadar, CMEC, Kyaukpyu, and Balochistan as a parallel context lane. Cross-lane drug, actor, route, guilt, political, project, causal, tactical, and navigable inference or use is prohibited.
get_palimpsest_bridge
Inspect official China evidence coverage and source metadata. WDR prices and seizures are withheld pending publication permission; independently available precursor, designation and wildlife aggregates retain their provenance, disclosure and causal boundaries.
get_palimpsest_corridors
Inspect official China, Pakistan and Myanmar evidence coverage. WDR prices and seizures are metadata-only pending publication permission; other available aggregates retain provenance, missing-data and geography-and-time-only join rules.
market
get_market_catalog
Page drugs, arms and informal-economy indicators (page/limit, maximum 4), with native units, full coverage totals and licenses for sources on the page. Country/category/subgroup/selection lists have independent dimensionPagination; follow dimensionPage with the same dataset/indicator filters (dimensionLimit maximum 50). Retain dataset hashes across pages. Legacy atlas and prices remain distinct resources.
query_market_observations
Filter published observations by dataset, indicator, geography, category, subgroup and inclusive reference period with bounded stable pagination (default 200, maximum 500). Retain dataset hashes across pages. Units, source locators, estimates and unavailable values remain explicit. No market-size aggregation, unit conversion or causal inference.
atlas
get_atlas
Return country-year organized-crime and firearms-tracing observations with source metadata, native caveats, explicit null fields, and stable cursor pagination. No records identify people or operational locations.
capabilities
list_capabilities
List the evidence explorer, newsroom, API, feeds, MCP tools, audiences, and safety boundaries.
connected
get_connected_research
Return source-linked China economic findings, CPEC, Balochistan, BRI and Myanmar research questions, reporting metadata, and dated national indicators. Optional hash-bound observatory summaries add economic histories, EU-reported trade and official methodology cases. SAFE quantities remain private. Country and theme context only; gaps do not establish concealment, actor relationships or causality.
entities
get_entities
Return approved public designation identity fields only. A designation is an administrative action, not an adjudication or proof of guilt; aliases, addresses, dates of birth, identity documents, and allegation text are withheld.
federation
get_federation
Return bounded public money-market, capital-market, BRI, or publication-rights context without cross-lane scoring, composites, causal inference, or culpability inference. Upstream unavailability stays typed.
newsroom
get_newsroom
List current deterministic analyses with citations, correction metadata, publication gates, and explicit evidence limits.
overview
get_overview
Return bounded headline aggregates across official prices, seizures, overdose mortality, wastewater, and public designations.
research
research_network
Read Palimpsest’s complete source catalog by topic alongside Seiche funding context, with next steps into LiquiLens filings and Undertow liquidity. Source dates, rights and missingness stay attached; no actor, route, criminal or causal inference is implied.
story
get_story
Fetch one story as metadata, a machine brief, or the cited dossier. Use the machine brief first for agent workflows.

NarcoScope — illicit-economy evidence atlas — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can NarcoScope — illicit-economy evidence atlas do?
It exposes 14 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_atlas, get_connected_research, get_entities, get_federation, get_market_catalog, get_newsroom 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 →
What is NarcoScope — illicit-economy evidence atlas mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around palimpsest and market. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is NarcoScope — illicit-economy evidence atlas working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 184 checks got a reply (50.0%), average response time 435 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect NarcoScope — illicit-economy evidence atlas?
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 NarcoScope — illicit-economy evidence atlas need an API key?
No. NarcoScope — illicit-economy evidence atlas 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 NarcoScope — illicit-economy evidence atlas?
It answers our handshake in 435 ms on average, which is faster than 29% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is NarcoScope — illicit-economy evidence atlas open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 3 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at narcoscope.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
