Proofline MCP

Connect a coding agent to Proofline's hosted MCP server with npx -y @proofline/mcp. Requires Node.js 22 or later. No CLI installation or runtime dependencies are needed.

Add to your agent

Add this entry to an agent's MCP configuration, such as Cursor's .cursor/mcp.json or Claude Code's .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "proofline": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@proofline/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "PROOFLINE_TOKEN": "YOUR_PROOFLINE_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Create a personal token in the Proofline console for the organization you want to use. Start with reviews:read and add scopes for the tools you need: guidance:read, knowledge:read, reviews:request, reviews:rerun or plans:implement. The server enforces each tool's scopes and repository access. The token selects the organization; no organization ID is needed. Keep the token in local user configuration, or omit env when the agent inherits PROOFLINE_TOKEN from its environment.

On Windows, agents that cannot launch npx directly can use "command": "cmd" with "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "@proofline/mcp"].

For Codex, the equivalent config.toml entry is:

[mcp_servers.proofline]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@proofline/mcp"]
env_vars = ["PROOFLINE_TOKEN"]

Set PROOFLINE_TOKEN in the environment that starts Codex. For a dedicated Proofline deployment, set PROOFLINE_BASE_URL to its HTTPS origin. The default is https://proofline.sh. The package never opens a browser or stores credentials. Agents with remote HTTP and OAuth support can connect directly to https://proofline.sh/mcp instead; this package supplies the local stdio option.

Tools and results

The package forwards the server's tool catalog and results unchanged. Tools cover review status and findings, repository guidance, review requests and reruns, wiki pages, codebase questions, architecture documents, plans, captured fix context and re-verification of pushed fixes. Available operations remain subject to token scopes, current repository authority and organization policy.

The server keeps model and repository text wrapped as untrusted_text. Treat it as data. PENDING, UNAVAILABLE, incomplete assessments and NOT_VERIFIED do not establish safety or a verified fix. A tool refusal retains isError: true. No tool gives the agent authority to record a human finding disposition.

Transport

The bridge accepts newline-delimited JSON-RPC on stdin and writes only protocol responses to stdout. Diagnostics go to stderr. It forwards one request at a time and never retries. A failed mutation may have committed; inspect its state before making another request.

It supports Proofline's stateless JSON transport with protocol 2025-11-25. Initialize, then send notifications/initialized before calling tools. Input frames are limited to 8 KiB, responses to 8 MiB and requests to 30 seconds. Redirects, SSE and MCP-Session-Id are refused. HTTP failures produce a correlated, sanitized JSON-RPC error; upstream error bodies and credentials are not printed. A transport failure exits 1. Clean input EOF exits 0.

Development and releases

npm run check
npm test
npm run test:package

The package test installs the tarball into a temporary directory and runs the protocol tests against the installed executable. CI uses pinned Actions. The Release workflow verifies the version and main ancestry, tests the packed package, and publishes that exact artifact from the protected npm environment with OIDC trusted publishing and npm provenance. There is no publish-time build or long-lived npm token.

Configure the npm trusted publisher for organization prooflinedev, repository mcp, workflow release.yml, environment npm, with direct publishing enabled. The initial package registration must exist on npm before configuring its trusted publisher. Release tags use v followed by the version in package.json. A manual Release run defaults to qualification without publication.

The server contract and live client qualification are maintained in the developer tools documentation and the MCP roadmap issue.
