## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (1)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `get_connect_config`

- The name "get_connect_config" says "get": a word for reading.
- The description's first verb is "generate": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Generate a ready-to-paste install snippet for one server's first safe remote endpoint or installable package, in the requested client's format. Mirrors mcpnav.dev's own server detail page Connect block exactly (same safety rules, same command/JSON shapes).
```

## Only reads (3)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `get_server`

- The name "get_server" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Fetch the full mcpnav record for one server by its slug (from search_servers' results, e.g. "owner/repo"). Call get_connect_config next for a ready-to-paste install snippet.
```

### `list_groups`

- The name "list_groups" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the category groups servers are organized into, each with its indexable server count.
```

### `search_servers`

- The name "search_servers" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search the mcpnav directory of MCP servers by name/description keywords, optionally filtered to one category group. Matches are whole-word, case-insensitive, and require every query word to appear (AND); a match in the server's name ranks above a match only in its description. Call list_groups first if you want a valid `group` value.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `directory`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__directory__search_servers",
      "mcp__directory__get_server",
      "mcp__directory__list_groups"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__directory__get_connect_config"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```
