Release history: 3 versions in the registry since 2026-10-14, latest 2026-10-15, typically one every 1 day.
Install AsItIs in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y @asitis/mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.
claude mcp add asitis-mcp -- npx -y @asitis/mcp
What the publisher says
From the AsItIs repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
AsItIs agent tools
Lint CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and SKILL.md before your agent reads them. A free Claude Code plugin and MCP server that checks steering files against the vendors' published rules, estimates the tokens they load every session, and flags hidden instructions: comments addressed to the AI, zero-width and bidirectional characters, styled-away text. Read-only, no network, MIT.
Try it in 30 seconds
No install: paste a file into the browser checker. Same linter, runs in your browser tab, nothing is uploaded.
Claude Code: add the marketplace and install the plugin, then run /asitis:md-lint or /asitis:md-budget in a session.
claude plugin marketplace add Katta041/asitis-agent-tools
claude plugin install asitis@asitisOther MCP clients: the server is on npm. This is the command to put in your client's MCP config (pin the version):
npx -y @asitis/mcp@0.2.3 --root /absolute/path/to/project- Lint: frontmatter on line 1 and valid YAML, SKILL.md name and description rules, CLAUDE.md 200 lines, SKILL.md 500 lines, Codex's 32 KiB, broken links and @imports, duplicate and contradictory rules.
- Budget: approximate tokens per file and per tool for what loads every session (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Copilot).
- Hidden content: HTML and [//]: # comments that read like instructions, invisible Unicode, bidi controls, display:none text.
- Guard (optional): warns before Claude rewrites a whole markdown file or strips its line endings, trailing spaces or BOM. An accident guard, not a security boundary.
- Read-only: no write tool, no network code, runs under Node's permission model in the plugin.
Install
Requires Node 22.13 or later on your PATH.
Claude Code (plugin)
claude plugin marketplace add Katta041/asitis-agent-tools
claude plugin install asitis@asitisInside a session, /plugin marketplace add Katta041/asitis-agent-tools and /plugin install asitis@asitis do the same. Remove it with claude plugin marketplace remove asitis.
From a local clone instead:
git clone https://github.com/Katta041/asitis-agent-tools.git
claude plugin marketplace add ./asitis-agent-tools
claude plugin install asitis@asitisOr try it for one session without installing: claude --plugin-dir ./asitis-agent-tools/plugins/asitis.
The plugin never downloads the server at runtime. See plugins/asitis/README.md for the skill, commands, guard hook and options.
Other MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI)
@asitis/mcp is on npm: use "command": "npx" with "args": ["-y", "@asitis/mcp@0.2.3", "--root", "/absolute/path/to/project"]. Always pin the version; never use @latest in an agent config.
Or run it from a clone. The plugin folder already contains the built, pinned server, so no install or build step is needed:
git clone https://github.com/Katta041/asitis-agent-tools.git
node asitis-agent-tools/plugins/asitis/server/asitis-mcp.mjs --versionShortened. The full README is on GitHub.
