nexus-mcp-ci@2.4.6
VERIFIED· not startedPublisher claims: "Local MCP server for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor: hybrid code search and a call graph, so your coding agent finds the right file with far fewer tokens. Measure it on your repo with `nexus-mcp-ci eval`." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
Coverage
Not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed.- Tested
- install scripts, with decoy credentials in place · second launch with the clock 45 days ahead · the dependency install step · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
- Not tested
- server startup · the tool list · tool behavior
What this means for the label: Verified here covers what ran. The server's tools were not exercised with a real credential, so nothing about their behavior is asserted; the credential summary below says what to do with that.
Before you give it your token
- It will ask for
ANTHROPIC_API_KEYConfiguration, not credentials: COLUMNS, HF_HOME, HF_HUB_OFFLINE, ISSUE_BODY, ISSUE_NUMBER, NEXUS_EVAL_CACHE, NEXUS_EVAL_HOME, NEXUS_EVAL_PRICING, NEXUS_OFFLINE, NEXUS_STORAGE_DIR, TRANSFORMERS_OFFLINE- Where it talks to
- no vendor host named in the codeAlso gstatic.com — not the publisher's domain; check what for before connecting.
- What the honeypot saw
- no credential files read · no network
- What we could not test
- server startup · the tool list · tool behavior
Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard, and read the third-party hosts first. The code names gstatic.com as well as its own vendor. The guard injects ANTHROPIC_API_KEY only into requests to the host you bind (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.
Never paste a credential into a chat, a ticket or a report, including ours. How the guard holds it.

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (3 scenarios; not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed) on 2026-11-13 and scored it 84/100 (Verified). In what ran, nothing we could detect went wrong: no undeclared network egress, no credential reads, no persistent instruction writes. What it does with a real credential was not observed; the static findings and the publisher carry the rest of the score. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

Tokens estimated at four characters each. The tool list is re-read by the agent on every turn, so it is the number to compare between servers that do the same job: ranked across the index.
