How Artifact Gauge compares

Against every graded MCP server, from our own scans and uptime checks. Updated after each scan run.

Safety score: 85/100; higher than 72% of 48,114 servers
Tools: 10; the typical server has 7
Tools that change things: 0%; typical: 0%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break

What its tools let an agent do: 10 read

Release history: 2 versions in the registry since 2026-09-21, latest 2026-10-27, typically one every 35 days.

Install Artifact Gauge in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

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

What the publisher says

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

artifact-gauge-mcp

Artifact Gauge is a local MCP tool for answering a simple release question: what is taking up space? It reports artifact totals, extension histograms, largest files, and dependency manifest metadata without returning file contents.

Tools

inspect_artifacts: scan a bounded local project and summarize file sizes and types.
inspect_manifest: report metadata for one recognized dependency manifest without exposing its contents or dependency versions.

Safety

Local paths only, with ARTIFACTGAUGEROOT boundary support and symlink checks.
Skips Git data, dependencies, coverage, framework caches, and other common generated caches while intentionally including dist and build artifacts.
Caps recursion, file count, file size, and output.
Never returns file contents, package versions, secrets, or source text.
This is a size heuristic, not a complete bundler or dependency vulnerability analyzer.

Run

npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
