How do I install the mcpscope mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `BACKEND_HOST` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

The short version

Building a good MCP server is empirical work, and you rarely do it alone anymore: a coding agent can run every benchmark and read every trace, but the numbers only get good when the developer stays in the loop — looking at the one run that failed, tightening a tool description or a rubric, deciding what to try next, and re-running. mcpscope is built for that partnership. It is not a benchmark harness an agent runs unattended, and not a GUI a developer drives by hand: every capability is exposed through a web UI shaped for a person and through a CLI and an MCP interface shaped for an agent, all over one shared
