# MCP for coding agents

> Give coding agents read-only access to persisted InferCrane evidence without granting deployment authority.

# Operational context without mutation

InferCrane includes an MCP server over standard input/output:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"vesper"}}
infercrane mcp
```

Configure your MCP-compatible client to launch that command with the same InferCrane context and
credential it would use for read-only CLI inspection.

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"vesper"}}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "infercrane": {
      "command": "infercrane",
      "args": ["mcp"],
      "env": {
        "INFERCRANE_CONTEXT": "production"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

The server exposes six bounded tools:

| Tool                              | Evidence                                                                                  |
| --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `infercrane_list_deployments`     | Logical deployments and lifecycle state                                                   |
| `infercrane_inspect_deployment`   | Desired/observed state, revisions, replicas, operations, measurements, and Guard evidence |
| `infercrane_inspect_endpoint`     | Logical model, environment, bindings, active plan, and candidate plan                     |
| `infercrane_inspect_request`      | Content-free routing, latency, tokens, retries, and fallback evidence                     |
| `infercrane_inspect_operation`    | Durable operation state and resume identity                                               |
| `infercrane_list_curated_recipes` | Reviewed, commit-pinned configuration recipes                                             |

All tools declare read-only, non-destructive, closed-world annotations. The server has no deploy,
scale, promote, delete, budget, secret, or provider mutation tool.

<Warning>
  Read-only access can still reveal operational metadata. Use a least-privilege InferCrane principal,
  scope it to the appropriate tenant, and do not place credentials in the client configuration when
  the client supports secret references or environment injection.
</Warning>

Mintlify also publishes the navigable documentation as
[`llms.txt`](https://infercrane.mintlify.site/llms.txt) and
[`llms-full.txt`](https://infercrane.mintlify.site/llms-full.txt) for agents that need product
knowledge rather than live operational evidence.
