Over-Reach Detector

Overview

Over-Reach Detector is an MCP server that monitors AI-generated code changes to ensure they stay within the scope of the declared task. By integrating with your MCP client, it provides real-time detection of scope violations, helping you maintain control over what modifications AI assistants make to your codebase.

The server runs locally on your machine via the uvx command: uvx over-reach-detector. It communicates over stdio and requires no authentication or credentials to get started. The latest release is v0.0.6, distributed under the MIT license with source code available at choreoatlas/over_reach_detector on GitHub.

Over-Reach Detector belongs in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site and works with all major MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed.
