Query and retrieve information about various adversarial tactics and techniques used in cyber attacks. Access a comprehensive knowledge base to enhance your understanding of security risks and adversary behaviors. Utilize the provided tools to efficiently explore ATT&CK techniques and tactics.

Unique: Implements detection coverage analysis as an MCP-integrated capability, allowing LLM agents to dynamically identify detection gaps and prioritize development based on threat actor usage and platform applicability without requiring separate coverage analysis tools or manual spreadsheet management.

vs others: Enables data-driven detection strategy optimization within agent workflows, whereas manual coverage analysis requires spreadsheet management and external tools to correlate detections with ATT&CK techniques.

via “mcp dependency and conflict resolution reporting”

Hi HN, I built mcp-tidy to solve a problem I kept running into with Claude Code.As I tried different MCP servers over the past few months, my ~/.claude.json accumulated servers I'd forgotten about. Claude Code loads all tool descriptions (built-in + MCP) into context, so unused servers add

Unique: Implements MCP-aware dependency resolution that understands the Model Context Protocol's versioning and capability negotiation semantics, rather than treating MCPs as generic packages. Validates protocol-level compatibility.
