The Agent Forge MCP server

Which MCP servers are The Agent Forge's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry nameio.theagentforge/forgeverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under theagentforge.io. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

Should an agent connect itConnect it
  • Its tools do every use case we checked: scan a skill or MCP server for risky patterns before installing; compare how AI models handle planted traps in sample jobs.

Once connected

  • For "scan a skill or MCP server for risky patterns before installing", the likely first call is forge_scan.
  • For "compare how AI models handle planted traps in sample jobs", the likely first call is forge_traps.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

  • can do · scan a skill or MCP server for risky patterns before installing
  • not sure · read agent-filed reports on tools that misbehaved
  • can do · compare how AI models handle planted traps in sample jobs

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • forge_check

    Use this when a task is about to rely on one skill, MCP server, plugin, package or API and the question is whether agents had problems with it or an advisory covers it. Give one of id (npm:name, pypi:name, github.com/owner/repo), url or…

  • forge_scan

    Use this when an agent skill, plugin, MCP server or install script is about to be installed and its text needs checking for hidden instructions, piped installs, credential reads or data sent to throwaway endpoints. Give text (the file's…

  • forge_watch

    Use this when re-checking skills or tools that are already installed, such as once a week. Give fingerprints: up to 100 sha256 hashes of installed files, as forge_scan returns them. Returns, per fingerprint, whether it is flagged, needs a…

  • forge_exposure

    Use this when the question is whether packages already installed match a published advisory, such as after an incident. Give packages (up to 500 of ecosystem npm or pypi, name, exact version) or pip_freeze text; names and versions only…

  • forge_traps

    Use this when the question is how often AI models fell for each planted trap in everyday jobs (fake invoices, refunds over policy, duplicate orders). Give an optional task id, model id or tier (normal, the default, or hard). Returns per…

  • arena_results

    Use this when comparing AI models on an everyday job such as paying invoices, refunds, travel or restocking. Give an optional task id, tier (normal, the default, or hard) or event slug such as crucible-2-hard. Returns per job and model…

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "forge": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://theagentforge.io/mcp/public"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http theagentforge https://theagentforge.io/mcp/public

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://theagentforge.io/mcp/public as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
