Signalint

CI npm version License: MIT Node.js

Signalint is a reliable, read-only-by-default diagnostic intelligence layer for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code) and CI workflows.

Instead of flooding an agent's context window with thousands of raw compiler lines, Signalint normalizes diagnostics across compilers, linters, and language servers into bounded, priority-clustered issue summaries, calculates verification deltas against explicit baselines, and detects oscillating fix loops.


Key Differentiators

  • 13 Complete MCP Tools: From incremental checks and immutable snapshots to live diagnostic ingestion and journaled transactional fix application.

  • Verification Deltas: Exact arithmetic on introduced, resolved, and unchanged diagnostics with semantic identity matching that survives line shifts.

  • Immutable Snapshots & Concurrency Safety: Isolated in-memory snapshot store keyed by checkId eliminates race collisions during concurrent checks.

  • Monorepo-Aware Planning: Unites package manifests (pnpm-workspace.yaml) parsed via pure-JS YAML with glob negation exclusions and TypeScript Project References, ordering checks topologically.

  • Multi-Source Provenance: Distinguishes compiler, linter, and editor/LSP diagnostics across JavaScript, TypeScript, Python (Ruff/Mypy), Rust (Clippy), and Go (GolangCI-Lint).

  • Portable Host Hooks: Native verify-after-change adapters for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and VS Code.

  • In-Memory Previews & In-Process Rollback: In-memory previews never touch disk; apply uses per-file adjacent temporary-file replacement, pre-write drift detection, and in-process best-effort rollback for multi-file writes (does not claim persistent crash recovery if aborted abruptly).

Quick Start

1. Requirements

  • Node.js >= 22.12.0 (utilizes native node:sqlite).

  • Your project installs its own diagnostic engines (typescript, oxlint, eslint, and/or @biomejs/biome). Signalint detects project-local installations and ships no bundled engines.

2. Initialize in your repository

npx signalint init

This detects your project's linters/compilers, generates signalint.config.json, and configures your installed MCP clients.

3. Add to MCP Clients

Add Signalint to your MCP configuration (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json, .cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "signalint": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "signalint-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

CLI Commands

Signalint includes a comprehensive command-line interface:

# Run a project diagnostic scan:
npx signalint check .
npx signalint check src/ --format github    # GitHub Actions annotations

# View session statistics and cache economics:
npx signalint stats

# Verify local engine availability and configuration:
npx signalint doctor

# Manage host verify-after-change hooks:
npx signalint hooks preview --runtime claude
npx signalint hooks install --runtime cursor --confirm
npx signalint hooks run --runtime claude --payload '<json-event>'

Monorepo Support

Signalint natively understands multi-package monorepos:

  • Configure "monorepoMode": "auto" in signalint.config.json to detect pnpm-workspace.yaml via pure-JS YAML parsing with glob negation exclusions (!).

  • Strictly differentiates local workspace packages (workspace:*) from external npm registry dependencies.

  • Builds a topological dependency graph uniting package manifests and TypeScript project references.

  • Caches whole-program TypeScript builds in isolated per-package directories (.signalint/cache/tsc/<project-id>/).

  • Changes to a shared package automatically invalidate dependent packages while keeping independent siblings cached.

See docs/monorepo.md for configuration and architecture.


Verify-After-Change Hooks

Automate post-edit verification without creating infinite agent loops:

  • Native adapters for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and VS Code.

  • Emits bounded context into prompt windows and blocks only on unresolved syntax/type errors.

See docs/hooks.md for setup instructions.

Available Tools

5 tools
check_filesA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Runs Oxlint and TypeScript (and optionally Biome) lint and type diagnostics on a specific list of files, using per-engine content-hash caching to skip unchanged files. Read-only; no files are written or modified. Use this for incremental checks after editing specific files; use check_project for a full project scan. The files parameter expects relative file paths (not glob patterns) within the project directory — absolute paths or paths outside the root return an error response. Caching is file-content-hash-based: a file is re-checked only when its content or the engine's config file (e.g., .oxlintrc, tsconfig.json) has changed since the last call, not based on git status. TypeScript is a whole-program engine: it re-runs whenever any TypeScript file in the request has changed content.

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, yet the description adds substantial non-obvious behavior: content-hash-based caching, the rule that re-checks trigger on content or config-file changes rather than git status, and the caveat that TypeScript is whole-program and re-runs when any TS file in the request changes. That is rich context beyond the structured fields.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the action and safety, then usage routing, then parameter constraints, then caching nuances. Each sentence carries distinct, load-bearing information with no filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists so return values need not be explained; combined with annotations covering safety and the description covering usage, parameter constraints, and caching semantics, an agent has everything needed to invoke this correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must carry semantics, and it does: 'files' expects relative paths within the project directory, rejects globs/absolute/out-of-root paths with an error, and is bounded in practice by the checking model. It adds real meaning beyond the bare array type, though it does not restate the maxItems limit.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Names specific verbs and resources — Oxlint and TypeScript lint/type diagnostics on a specific list of files — and immediately distinguishes itself from the sibling check_project by scoping to files rather than the whole project.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicit routing: 'Use this for incremental checks after editing specific files; use check_project for a full project scan.' It also states the exclusion for the files parameter (no globs, no absolute paths) and the error consequence, leaving nothing to inference.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

check_projectA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Runs and clusters Oxlint and TypeScript (and optionally Biome) lint and type diagnostics for one or more project paths. Read-only; no files are written or modified. Paths default to the project root (".") when omitted; paths must be relative and within the project directory — absolute paths or paths outside the root return an error response. Use this for a full project scan; use check_files instead for faster incremental checks after editing specific files. Each call re-runs all enabled engines with no caching.

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive), and the description adds genuinely new behavior: paths are validated against the project root with an error response for absolute/outside-root paths, and every call re-runs all enabled engines with no caching. That caching and error-semantics detail is exactly the kind of context annotations cannot convey.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Four sentences, front-loaded with the core action, then the read-only guarantee, then path constraints, then the sibling routing. Every sentence carries distinct information with no padding.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return values need no explanation. For a single-optional-parameter read-only scan tool, the description covers defaults, constraints, error behavior, caching semantics, and sibling routing — nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The single paths parameter has 0% schema description coverage, so the description must compensate, and it does: default of "." when omitted, relative-only requirement, must be within the project directory, and error behavior otherwise. It stops short of describing ordering or the 512 maxItems cap, so it is not fully exhaustive.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource: runs and clusters Oxlint and TypeScript lint/type diagnostics over project paths. It explicitly names the sibling it is not (check_files) and defines the scope (full project scan) versus incremental checks, so an agent can disambiguate without opening either schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives explicit when-to-use (full project scan) and when-to-use-the-alternative (check_files for faster incremental checks after editing specific files). It also covers defaults when paths are omitted and the constraint that paths must be relative and inside the project root.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

get_issue_detailA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns the full issue list for either one cluster ID or one issue ID from the most recent check_project or check_files call. Read-only; no files are written or modified. Supply exactly one of clusterId or issueId — supplying both or neither returns an argument error. If the referenced cluster or issue no longer exists in the latest results (e.g., after re-running a check), returns a status: "stale" response instead of an error; call check_project or check_files again to refresh.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Beyond the annotations (which only declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive), the description discloses non-obvious behavior: an argument error when both or neither ID is given, and a status: "stale" response instead of an error when the entity no longer exists after a re-run. This is exactly the kind of failure-mode detail annotations cannot carry.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences, front-loaded with the core action, then constraints, then edge-case behavior. No filler; the brief redundancy about read-only is minor.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With an output schema present, return-value structure need not be explained, yet the description still flags the stale status shape. Combined with the parameter constraint and staleness recovery path, an agent has everything needed to call this correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It clarifies the semantics of clusterId and issueId well (exactly-one-of, error otherwise), but the third parameter, checkId, is never mentioned in either the schema or the description, leaving a real gap.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (returns) and resource (full issue list for one cluster ID or one issue ID), and explicitly ties the result to the most recent check_project or check_files call, which separates it from those siblings. An agent can distinguish it from check_project/check_files without opening a schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly names the prerequisite context (must follow a check_project/check_files call), the constraint that exactly one of clusterId or issueId must be supplied, and the recovery action (call check_project or check_files again) when a stale response is returned.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

get_loop_statusA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns all diagnostic issue signatures currently flagged as looping (repeatedly appearing and disappearing) in this server session. Read-only; no files are written or modified. Loop history is accumulated across all check_project and check_files calls in this process lifetime, and is restored from .signalint/session.jsonl on startup. Takes no parameters. Use this to identify which diagnostics an agent is oscillating on; use check_project or check_files to run fresh diagnostics.

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Although annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior, the description adds state-lifecycle context: loop history accumulates across all check_project and check_files calls and is restored from .signalint/session.jsonl on startup. It also confirms 'no files are written or modified,' which clarifies what the read-only hint actually guarantees.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is tight and efficient: it opens with the return value and risk guarantee, then gives state lifecycle, parameter count, and usage routing. Every sentence adds useful signal and no filler is present.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given that the tool has no parameters, has an output schema, and conveys read-only behavior through annotations, the description is complete. It also clarifies how data is aggregated across sibling calls, how it is restored from session storage, and when to choose alternative tools.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has 0 parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description explicitly says 'Takes no parameters' and the schema confirms an empty object with no additional properties. There is nothing further needed.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Returns all diagnostic issue signatures currently flagged as looping' and defines looping as repeatedly appearing and disappearing. It also distinguishes the tool from siblings like check_project and check_files by positioning it as the accumulated-history view rather than a fresh diagnostic runner.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It explicitly tells agents when to use it: 'identify which diagnostics an agent is oscillating on.' It also names the alternatives for fresh diagnostics: 'use check_project or check_files to run fresh diagnostics.' This is clear, direct usage guidance.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

pingA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Checks whether the Signalint MCP server is responsive. Read-only; returns the string "pong" with no side effects. Use this to verify the server is connected before running diagnostics. Invalid arguments return an error response; no authentication is required.

ParametersJSON Schema

projectRootYesCanonical absolute project root path.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavior: the literal return string 'pong', the error behavior on invalid arguments, and the no-authentication requirement, which is not captured by any structured field.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the purpose before the usage hint and the operational caveats. The 'read-only... no side effects' clause partly restates the readOnlyHint/destructiveHint annotations, but the redundancy is minor and the whole entry is tight.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-parameter health check with an output schema, everything an agent needs is present: what it returns, that no auth is required, and how errors surface. No gaps remain that would affect a correct invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4 and there is no parameter semantics to explain beyond the note that invalid arguments produce an error response.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Checks whether the Signalint MCP server is responsive') and is immediately distinguishable from the domain-specific siblings (check_project, check_files, get_loop_status), which test application state rather than connectivity. An agent can tell this is the generic server liveness probe without opening the schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly names the use case: 'Use this to verify the server is connected before running diagnostics.' It gives clear context for when to reach for it, though it does not state when not to use it or contrast it against the sibling check_* tools.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0

Scored across 5 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: ping for health, check_project for full scans, check_files for incremental scans, get_issue_detail for inspecting results, and get_loop_status for loop detection. Descriptions explicitly cross-reference each other (e.g., check_project vs check_files) to guide selection, leaving no meaningful overlap.

Naming Consistency4/5

Mostly consistent verb_noun pattern with check_project, check_files, get_issue_detail, and get_loop_status. The bare 'ping' deviates slightly, but it follows standard health-check convention so it remains readable and predictable.

Tool Count5/5

Five tools is well-scoped for a lint/diagnostic server, with each tool earning its place across the scan-inspect-monitor workflow. No redundant or filler tools are present.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers the core lifecycle: health check, full and incremental scans, issue detail retrieval, and loop monitoring. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no explicit tool to list all clusters or clear/reset session history), but agents can work around these via existing tools.
