Release history: 34 versions in the registry since 2026-09-10, latest 2026-10-31, typically one every 1 day.
Install Trace in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y trace-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says
From the Trace repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
<!-- Header images are generated — node scripts/gen-readme-banner.mjs re-renders them from docs/data/counts.yml and docs/data/prcontextbench.json. Never retouch a PNG by hand: the numbers in it would stop tracking the data. PNG @2x rather than SVG because GitHub renders README images in an isolated context where an SVG's @font-face never loads and Space Grotesk falls back. The narrow cut is for phones: GitHub scales the 1200px banner into a ~390px column, which drops the tagline to 8px. Order matters — the first matching wins, so the max-width pair has to stay above the theme source. The missing space in (prefers-color-scheme:light) on the narrow source is deliberate: GitHub's substring-matches the spaced form and, for a reader who pinned Light in Appearance, rewrites that source's media to match every viewport — which would put the phone cut on a 750px desktop. -->
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
