prodcheck — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Pre-production review tool for your coding agent. Connects 4,685 checks covering application security, performance, and AI safety risks before launch.
claude mcp add prodcheck -- npx -y prodcheckWhat prodcheck does
The server connects a catalog of 101 checklists across six domains directly to your coding assistant. Built for solo founders and lean teams running without a dedicated security department, it handles the whole stack from infrastructure configurations to deploy pipelines. When queried, your assistant analyzes the project and points directly to file:line locations.
Over 1,300 items target failure modes introduced by AI development, including prompt injection and tool-calling risks. You can invoke checks via the MCP interface, initialize a repository review skill with npx prodcheck init, or filter stack-specific blockers into BLOCKERS.md using the --gate flag.
Running this server requires Node.js with npx in your path, and the assistant will flag unverified items as UNKNOWN for mandatory manual review.
What it helps with
- audit release blockers before production deployment
- detect prompt injection and tool misuse risks in AI agents
- generate a stack-specific launch checklist into BLOCKERS.md
- inspect authorization logic without a dedicated security team
Example prompts for the agent
- Inspect the repository with prodcheck and point out release blockers with file and line references
- Run the prodcheck AI safety checks against our LLM tool definitions
- Filter prodcheck for our stack and output critical gates to BLOCKERS.md
