What is the Scope MCP server?

If you already use Scope, the scope mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. MCP server that enforces multi-agent scope boundaries — prevents scope drift, work duplication, and.

Installation

The server ships on npm as node, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

Available tools

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

  • create_scope_contract — Define agent boundaries: allowed/forbidden tools, file access patterns, delegation limits
  • validate_action — Pre-flight check — is a tool call or file access within scope?
  • detect_delegation_loop — Analyze delegation chains for circular patterns
  • log_agent_action — Track agent actions for compliance monitoring
  • get_compliance_report — Per-agent summary: actions, violations, delegation count, scope utilization %
  • detect_work_duplication — Find agents doing the same work across action logs

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.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Where it fits

This sits in the monitoring and observability group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Scope's toolset — create_scope_contract, validate_action, detect_delegation_loop and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by mdfifty50-boop; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Scope to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 6 tools (create_scope_contract, validate_action, detect_delegation_loop, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Scope directly.
