CCraft Anything MCP

Tested craft-anything v0.3.0 (Linux x86_64 release binary from GitHub release v0.3.0, SHA-256 checked against the release's own SHA256SUMS.txt, so not an independent check), started as `craft-anything-cli mcp`. Repo storytold/craft-anything (Apache-2.0) created 2026-10-31, 12,401 GitHub stars when tested. Its 29 tools listed without credentials (more toolsets load on demand). Real calls (no LLM, no credentials, no target loaded): core_session_show, list_toolsets and core_targets_list. No binary or app was analysed, so the analysis toolsets were not tested.
Tool-call test (2026-11-05, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): pass. 3 of 3 read-only session calls passed. No target was analysed. Evidence: local test run, Nov 5, 2026.

Transport (tested 2026-11-05): stdio

Methodology: how we test. A high score means it installs and responds, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
