Install Kitsune in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y kitsune-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says

From the Kitsune repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.kaiser-data/kitsune-mcp --> 🦊 Kitsune MCP The agent harness for MCP. One config entry. Borrow any of 130,000+ servers mid-session — develop live, reach the long tail, try community code contained — then shift back. Session survives.

Kitsune is a runtime MCP proxy: one always-on gateway your agent uses to reach the rest of the ecosystem. search finds a server across 7 registries. shapeshift(id) mounts its tools in the current turn. shapeshift() drops them. No config edit. No client restart.

search → shapeshift → call → shapeshift()       # reach, use, release
connect → shapeshift → edit → reload → call     # MCP REPL (default install)

Install for reach and live execution — not for token savings. Native Tool Search already defers schemas for servers you've configured. Kitsune covers what Tool Search cannot: servers you've never set up, servers you're writing right now, and community packages you want to try without wiring them into mcp.json forever.

Worked high-stakes flows (IAM, IR, audits): examples/scenarios/. CLI vs MCP accuracy argument lives there too — short version: models nail common CLI commands and fail on the long tail; Kitsune mounts schemas only while you need them.
