How it works
Stop re-explaining your codebase.
Connect once.
Instead of wiring each editor separately, you point everything at zephex.dev/mcp once and Zephex handles validation, routing, and limits from there.
- One config per editor. Same endpoint, same tools, everywhere.
- Rotate or revoke keys from the dashboard — not buried in config files.
- 10 tools activate instantly across every connected editor.

10 tools your AI uses to actually know your codebase
Built-in tools that scan your real repo, your live packages, and your running architecture — so your AI works with what's actually there, not what it remembers or guesses.
get_project_context
Fast, high-signal project brief.
check_package
Real-time npm package verification.
audit_package
Breaking changes, CVEs, migration steps.
explain_architecture
Traces real request/auth/data flows.
read_code
AST-based symbol reading for safe changes.
find_code
Fast repo-wide ripgrep.
audit_headers
Security audit for HTTP/TLS endpoints
Zephex_dev_info
Extracts content and metadata from a URL.
scope_task
Get minimal files to read for a task.
thinking
Plan, verify, and keep session memory.
Instant codebase snapshot. Your AI knows your stack before you type the first prompt.
Summarizes the repo’s stack and key integration points (auth, hosting, billing, queues) based on what’s actually present in code and config.
When to use
- You just opened a new repo
- You need the stack + key entry points
- You want a safe overview before changing code

Developers shipping safer code with Zephex
"My Zephex MCP just saved me from a bad Stripe upgrade. Two prompts in Claude Code. check_package → Stripe is clean, no red flags."
— r/ClaudeAI
"AI editors are awesome — until they waste half your session just relearning your project. That's why I built Zephex."
— @zephex_dev
"I connected Zephex MCP to Claude Code, ran two prompts on our Stripe setup, and the output shocked me."

Built for real workflows
Who uses Zephex
Teams that need MCP to feel operational: one endpoint, one control layer, less config drift.
One endpointOne control layerLess config drift
Profile 01
Solo developers
One setup that survives repo switches, editor changes, and client work.
Where it breaks
You bounce between side projects, contract repos, and multiple editors. Native MCP means duplicated config, duplicated tools, and drift every time something changes.
What changes with Zephex
Keep one endpoint and one tool surface. Use separate keys for local and client work without rebuilding the whole MCP setup each time.

FAQ
Questions beforeyou connect
Quick answers for evaluation, setup, and security review.
01How long does setup take?
Most users connect in a few minutes — create a key, paste one config snippet into your editor, and call the MCP endpoint. No long onboarding, no infrastructure to provision.
02Which clients are supported?
Zephex provides setup guidance for Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, Windsurf, and JetBrains, and any other MCP-compatible client. If it speaks MCP, it works.
03Do you train AI models on my tool content?
No. Zephex does not use your prompts, tool inputs, tool outputs, or code to train AI models. Your data is routed and enforced at the boundary — nothing is retained for model training.
04How should I handle API keys safely?
Treat every key like a secret: keep them out of public repos, rotate any exposed key immediately, and use isolated keys per environment. Zephex makes this easier with scoped key policies from your dashboard.
05What happens if an MCP server crashes or times out?
Zephex surfaces the failure in your operational dashboard in real time. The boundary enforcer catches tool-call errors before they propagate and logs them with full trace context so you can diagnose without reproducing.
06Can I use Zephex with sensitive or proprietary data?
Yes. The single-endpoint model means you control exactly what crosses the boundary. Scoped keys and policy rules let you permit or block specific tools, namespaces, and output shapes — without modifying your client configuration.
07How is Zephex different from running an MCP server locally?
A local MCP server is tied to one machine and one editor. You re-install it for every new project, every team member, and every environment. Zephex is hosted — one endpoint that works across all your editors, machines, and teammates from the moment you paste the config.
08What happens when I hit my request limit?
Requests over your plan ceiling are blocked and surfaced in your dashboard so you can see exactly where the spike happened. You can upgrade at any time — limits reset monthly, and there is no surprise overage billing on Free or Pro.
09Does Zephex work with AI agents and automation pipelines?
Yes. Anything that can send an HTTP request with a Bearer token can call the /mcp endpoint. That includes automated agents, CI workflows, and custom scripts — not just interactive editors. Scoped keys let you give automation a narrower surface than your personal key.
10Can I see which tools my AI is calling?
Yes. Every tool call is logged in your dashboard — name, timestamp, key, and result status. This makes it easy to see what your AI is actually using, catch runaway usage patterns, and verify the right tools are hitting the right backends.
