Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Builds a file path from a variable packages/rigour-cli/src/commands/check.ts:85, packages/rigour-cli/src/commands/demo-scenarios.ts:144, packages/rigour-cli/src/commands/explain.ts:16 и ещё 27

                    const reportPath = path.join(cwd, config.output.report_path);

Runs an external command packages/rigour-cli/src/commands/demo.ts:89, packages/rigour-cli/src/commands/doctor.ts:10, packages/rigour-cli/src/commands/hooks.ts:296

    execSync(`git clone --depth 1 ${repoUrl} ${demoDir}`, { stdio: 'pipe' });

Executes code built at runtime packages/rigour-core/src/firewall/typed-command.ts:41

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Rigour — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Rigour?

Rigour runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @rigour-labs/mcp was installed 1 466 times last week.

How do I connect Rigour?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @rigour-labs/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Rigour?

The npm package @rigour-labs/mcp was installed 1 466 times in the last week. Week over week that is +405%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Rigour open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 27 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
