# Verificate MCP — validation gates for AI coding

**Deterministic quality gates for AI-generated code, as an MCP server.** Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP client.

Your coding assistant writes a mock and calls it done. It invents an SDK call that doesn't exist. It ships an N+1 loop that passes every test and dies under load. Verificate MCP runs the deep review pass on every AI output — deterministic reality gates first (any one can veto), then an enterprise-grade review scores what survives — **before the code reaches your codebase**.

## Tools

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `validate_ai_output` | Gate any model output: deterministic reality gates (mock/placeholder veto, gaming & bypass detection, integrity monitoring), then ISO/IEC 25010-grade review of performance, scalability, reliability and tech debt. |
| `analyze_code` | Deep code analysis on demand — hot paths, rate-limit math, failure modes, hallucinated APIs. |
| `validate_plan` | Score an AI plan for feasibility and grounding before work begins. |
| `generate_code` | Generate code that is checked against your constraints before it is returned. |

## A real rejection (verbatim)

12 plausible lines of AI-written payment code were sent through the production gateway. Verdict: **REJECTED — score 30.8/100, vetoed by `code_reality_gate`**, with findings including:

> *"N+1 synchronous API calls … For 100 items, this results in 100 sequential HTTP roundtrips, taking ~10–20 seconds and blocking the event loop/worker thread … will trigger Stripe rate limiting (100 req/sec limit)."*
> *"`stripe.Inventory` is not a valid Stripe SDK resource."*
> *"Floating-point representation issues lead to rounding errors in financial transactions; Stripe API requires integer cents."*

Each of those is an afternoon of production debugging, caught in seconds.

## Setup

Create an account at <https://verificate.ai/auth/signup> and copy the trial token from your dashboard, then:

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http verificate \
  https://verificate-portal-verificate-granite-4-small.apps.gpu4.fusion.isys.hpc.dc.uq.edu.au/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TRIAL_TOKEN"
```

### Cursor / Windsurf / any MCP client (JSON)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "verificate": {
      "url": "https://verificate-portal-verificate-granite-4-small.apps.gpu4.fusion.isys.hpc.dc.uq.edu.au/mcp",
      "transport": "http",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TRIAL_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor: add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`. Windsurf: add to `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`.

## Suggested workflow

Ask your agent to validate before it finishes:

> "Before you consider this task done, run the diff through `validate_ai_output` and fix anything it vetoes."

Or wire it into CI as a merge gate — see [`examples/`](examples/).
