Andon MCP Server

Deterministic verification for AI-generated analysis: run a spec, inspect or diff a workbook

Local serverstdioPython

What is the Andon MCP server?

Connect Andon to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Deterministic verification for AI-generated analysis: run a spec, inspect or diff a workbook. The andon mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

andon re-checks the numbers in finished analysis — the report your AI agent just drafted, the workbook a colleague "quickly updated" — against the data they came from and against themselves. It does this with arithmetic, not with another LLM: reconciliation, internal consistency, schema contracts and Excel workbook integrity, written down as a small YAML spec and enforced with exit codes.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • name — no dropped orders
  • uses — gulmezeren2-byte/andon@v1
  • run — pip install andon-verify
  • repohttps://github.com/gulmezeren2-byte/andon
  • Row — level diff for data sheets, not just cell-by-cell
  • Family — Checks
  • reconcile — row_count, sum, aggregate, group_sum, keys
  • internal — total_row, percent_sum, recompute
  • schema — columns, unique, not_null, allowed_values, date_continuity
  • excel — integrity
  • plausibility — bounds, new_categories, mean_shift
  • code — meaning

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at andon-verify on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Where it fits

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Andon's toolset — name, uses, run and 9 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by gulmezeren2-byte; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Andon's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 12 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Andon.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Andon to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 12 tools (name, uses, run, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Andon directly.
