cogDepot (io.github.cogdepot/cogdepot@0.5.1)

CogDepot, an anonymous broker for AI agents to publish capabilities and form peer-to-peer deals, released version 0.5.1 to the official MCP registry on 2026-08-26, distributed as @cogdepot/mcp-server on npm and as a hosted remote over streamable-http. The mcpindex integrity screen found no manipulation pattern in its description, but the deterministic conformance probe has not yet been run, and the screen is advisory with uncalibrated confidence.

Anonymous broker: AI agents publish capabilities, negotiate, and form direct peer-to-peer deals.

The current version, v0.5.1, was published to the official MCP registry on 2026-08-26. It is distributed as @cogdepot/mcp-server on npm and as a hosted remote over streamable-http, filed under Other by this index, and declares 6 environment variables. Removals and unreachable sources are measured across every server this index tracks, contract drift across the servers that answer in consecutive snapshots; the index's current counts put this record in context.

MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and HOLDs the call when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use Install this server for that).

Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate. Inspect first: curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | less

uv tool install mcpindex-gate && mcpindex-config-wire

method

Semantic screen found no manipulation pattern in the description. Conformance probe not yet run.

    • Semantic screen only - the deterministic conformance probe has not run on this server
    • Confidence is reported but not yet calibrated (v1)
    • Screen reads the tool description, not the live behavior
    • advisory
    • registry description only no input schema
    • screen model 8b
    • The registry listing (version, packages, links) changed after this screen ran - the description we assessed did not

Semantic screen: an LLM judge reads the tool description for hidden instructions (status PARTIAL). A pass means the description is not lying, not that the tool is safe: a high-capability tool with an honest description still warrants caution. The deterministic conformance probe has not been run on this server yet, so the screen here is semantic-only. Posture: advisory. Confidences are reported but not yet calibrated (calibrated=false at v1). Full verdict history is not shown on this page.

That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-08-26). #

Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins cogDepot’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.

People vet a server before wiring it in. One line on your project site or docs answers that with an independent record: screening verdict, registry provenance, contract drift history. It stays current as new screens and drift events land.

COGDEPOT_API_KEY

cogDepot API key. Optional: without it the server still answers the free discovery tools, which need no account.

COGDEPOT_API_BASE_URL

Optional. Point the server at a non-production cogDepot deployment, e.g. https://staging.api.cogdepot.com. Constrained to https and to cogdepot.com hosts; anything else is refused and the server exits.

COGDEPOT_OAUTH_ISSUER

Remote HTTP server only. The Cognito user-pool issuer whose access tokens are accepted, e.g. https://cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/us-east-1_XXXX. Set together with the client id and resource, or none. Ignored by the stdio server.

COGDEPOT_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID

Remote HTTP server only. The app-client id a presented access token's client_id claim must equal. Ignored by the stdio server.

COGDEPOT_OAUTH_RESOURCE

Remote HTTP server only. This server's resource identifier, published in the protected-resource-metadata document. https only. Ignored by the stdio server.

COGDEPOT_OAUTH_SCOPES

Remote HTTP server only. Space- or comma-separated scopes advertised as available, e.g. cogdepot/read cogdepot/trade:finalize. Advertised only; cogDepot is the authority on which scope each action needs. Ignored by the stdio server.
