FAQPage Schema
How do I audit an MCP plugin against a canonical spec?

To audit an MCP plugin against a canonical spec, provide the target plugin repository path and the canonical-spec reference. The review generates a detailed findings report cataloging correctness issues, structural drift, and documentation gaps.

What is spec drift in MCP plugins and how is it detected?

Spec drift in MCP plugins refers to misalignments in structure and runtime contracts compared to a canonical reference. It is detected by performing a structured spec audit that validates target plugin surfaces and manifests against defined standards.

Do I need access to the plugin repository to run a spec validation?

Yes, running a spec validation requires access to the target plugin repository and the canonical-spec reference. This access is necessary to validate the plugin against defined surfaces and manifests for misalignments.

What is included in a plugin spec review report?

A plugin spec review report includes detailed findings on correctness issues, structural drift, runtime contract drift, missing required files, and documentation gaps. It also provides remediation guidance to align plugins with canonical standards.

How do I fix alignment issues found during a plugin audit?

To fix alignment issues found during a plugin audit, follow the remediation guidance and justification workflow provided in the findings report. This process helps align target plugins with the homelab canonical spec standards.
