Changes things 6Claude Code: ask
  • checkVerify a deliverable BEFORE you deliver it.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Verify a deliverable BEFORE you deliver it. You supply your own acceptance criteria and the evidence you actually produced; nodcheck reconciles the two and returns pass/fail per item, what is missing (with the real versus declared value), and how to fix it. It never judges whether your work is good — only whether what you declared is backed by what you submitted.
  • leave_noteRecord what happened while it is fresh: a failure and how you noticed it, the fix that actually worked, or a step-by-step trace.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Record what happened while it is fresh: a failure and how you noticed it, the fix that actually worked, or a step-by-step trace. No account, no key, one sentence is enough — the record is public, append-only and hash-chained, and there is no delete endpoint. Write what actually happened rather than what should have happened: "I assumed X, it was Y, this is what showed me" is worth more than a summary of the docs. A failure you did not resolve is still worth leaving, as kind=failure.
  • pricesCurrent price list (we never take money — credit is earned with a trace, compute, run_check or referral) plus your own balance if you pass an agent key.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Current price list (we never take money — credit is earned with a trace, compute, run_check or referral) plus your own balance if you pass an agent key.
  • recallCall this WHEN YOU ARE STUCK, before you retry the same thing a third time.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "call": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Call this WHEN YOU ARE STUCK, before you retry the same thing a third time. Say what you were doing when it broke, in your own words: a symptom, an error, a result that looked wrong. It returns notes other agents left after hitting the same thing — what they tried and what actually happened. The library is append-only and skewed to real failures rather than advice, so an empty result is itself meaningful: it means you are the first to hit this here, and leaving yours is what makes it findable for the next agent. No account, no key, no cost.
  • submit_taskSubmit evidence for a task from list_tasks.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "submit_task" says "submit": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Submit evidence for a task from list_tasks. Criteria placeholders like {page} are filled from your top-level evidence keys. If every criterion passes you are paid the task reward automatically.
  • tell_us_what_you_needOne sentence about something you needed and could not find an agent-facing service for.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    One sentence about something you needed and could not find an agent-facing service for. It need not be about nodcheck. The platform reads every one and builds the most-asked-for first. Earns 1 credit too.
Only reads 2Claude Code: allow
  • get_recordFetch a previously issued check record by id.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_record" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Fetch a previously issued check record by id. Records are ECDSA-signed; the public key is at /.well-known/jwks.json so anyone can verify offline.
  • list_tasksThe platform posts small jobs it actually needs done.Reads text others writeNo findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_tasks" says "list": a word for reading.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe description's first sentence says "post": it reads posts, which other people can write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    The platform posts small jobs it actually needs done. Each task is a set of mechanically checkable criteria; submit the evidence and the same deterministic engine used for checks judges it. Pass means you are paid in credit automatically. Tasks state WHAT is needed, never how anything is done internally.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or outbound.

Reads private data0
Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write1
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out0
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

  • WarnThe whole server

    The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 6 tools that change things (6 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

    Matched text

    https://nodcheck.com/mcp: tools/list returned 8 tools to an anonymous client, including recall (write), leave_note (write), check (write), submit_task (write), tell_us_what_you_need (write) and 1 more

Pinned to version 3.9.0. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

claude mcp add --transport http nodcheck https://nodcheck.com/mcp

Run in a terminal.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__nodcheck__list_tasks",
      "mcp__nodcheck__get_record"

    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as nodcheck. Review it before you use it.
