Iris Code
Local code-quality rules, findings, preview-first safe fixes and gate results for coding agents.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
@iris-code/mcpclaude mcp add iris-code -- npx -y @iris-code/mcp@0.2.2
{
"mcpServers": {
"iris-code": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@iris-code/mcp@0.2.2"
]
}
}
}
Documentation

Iris Code MCP launcher
Give coding agents your project's real code-quality rules, findings, safe fixes and gate results.
This repository contains the npm launcher and setup documentation for Iris Code's local MCP server. It starts the published @iris-code/cli package, which carries the implementation. The analysis engine's source is maintained separately and is not included here. The launcher declares the MIT license; this repository does not claim the whole Iris Code product is open source.
Install
Requires Node.js 18 or newer.
npx -y @iris-code/mcp
Add this to your client's MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"iris_code": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@iris-code/mcp"]
}
}
}
Clients normally supply the current workspace root. For a client that does not provide MCP roots, append --root and your absolute project path to args. In JetBrains IDEs, use Tools | Iris Code | Set Up MCP Server from the installed Iris Code plugin.
What agents can do
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
iris_check | Located findings and code-health measurements |
iris_config | Resolved project thresholds and rules |
iris_fix_safe | Preview and apply provable mechanical fixes |
iris_refactor_plan | Located refactor suggestions and a captured baseline |
iris_verify_refactor | Verify improvement against a baseline |
iris_schema | Real database tables, columns and relations |
iris_explain | Rule details behind findings |
iris_gate | Quality-gate result and failing rules |
iris_check_dependency | Dependency advisory evidence |
iris_check_package | Package risk before installation |
Single-file workflows are Free and require no API key. Fresh project work requires sign-in and applicable access. Reopening owned evidence does not spend another project action. Paid access adds broader enforcement and project capabilities. See current pricing and the MCP guide.
Boundaries
Analysis runs locally. The server has no general shell-execution tool. Secret values are masked, and requested paths are confined to the project root, including symlink resolution. Safe fixes preview first; applying needs the preview's single-use token. Dependency and advisory lookups require network consent. Repository handoff policy and access checks still apply.
Support and privacy
Registry metadata release
Version 0.2.2 adds the official MCP Registry ownership name io.github.Daiveedjay/iris-code. Launcher behavior and the CLI dependency range are unchanged. The npm package's repository URL identifies the existing private release owner because npm trusted publishing requires it to match the workflow repository. This public repository supplies launcher source and documentation; npm publication still runs from the private release workflow.
Official MCP Registry identity: io.github.Daiveedjay/iris-code, published version 0.2.2. Verify the public registry metadata. The entry uses local stdio transport, not a hosted endpoint.
Frequently asked questions
What is Iris Code?
Local code-quality rules, findings, preview-first safe fixes and gate results for coding agents.
How do I install Iris Code?
It runs on your machine. In Claude Code: claude mcp add iris-code -- npx -y @iris-code/mcp@0.2.2. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does Iris Code need an API key?
Its registry entry lists no required key or secret. Some features may still need an account with the service it connects to.
Is Iris Code open source?
Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.
Who maintains Iris Code?
It is published by Daiveedjay. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
