MCP SERVER · 10 DEV TOOLS · 20+ AI EDITORS

Stop your AI agent from guessing.

Zephex plugs real project context, code search, and dependency-safety checks into any AI editor through one connection. Or skip the agent entirely — the same tools work directly in your terminal.

FAQ

Questions beforeyou connect

Quick answers for evaluation, setup, and security review.

01What is Zephex in one sentence?

Zephex is a hosted MCP gateway with ten codebase tools, plus a terminal CLI and browser web terminal on the same API key — so AI coding agents (and humans) work from real project context instead of guessing.

02How long does setup take?

A few minutes. Create a free key, run npx zephex setup (or paste the MCP config), and call tools from Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, VS Code, or the CLI. No servers to host.

03Which clients are supported?

Hosted MCP works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, JetBrains, and other MCP clients — plus the terminal CLI and web terminal without any AI editor open.

04What is the Zephex CLI (Mode 2)?

The zephex terminal CLI installs via curl install.sh or npx zephex. From your project directory you run overview, deep --json, find, read, architecture, safe / check-package, check test, remember/recall, and more. Same backend tools as MCP; human-readable output or --json for agents and scripts.

05What is the Zephex web terminal?

A dashboard browser terminal at /dashboard/terminal that runs allowlisted Mode 2 commands over SSE — paste a public GitHub repo and run overview, find, deep, package checks without local install. Not a full shell. Shares your plan quota. Private repos: use local CLI or editor MCP.

06Do 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. Security and data-use pages spell out boundaries.

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 project, teammate, and laptop. Zephex is hosted — one endpoint, one key, same tools in every editor plus CLI and web terminal.

08How is Zephex different from Context7 or documentation MCP?

Context7 injects fresh third-party library docs. Zephex reads your actual repo and packages — project context, code search, architecture, tests, supply-chain checks. Recommended stack: Context7 + GitHub MCP + Zephex. See /compare/recommended-mcp-stack.

09Is Zephex a memory MCP that saves contacts or chat history?

No. Mem0-style products store chat memory. Zephex is live engineering context (files, deps, architecture, package risk). project_memory stores project decisions and gotchas you choose to remember — not contacts or long chat logs.

10Can Zephex catch a bad npm package before install?

Yes. check_package (CLI: zephex safe / check-package) hits live registry data for typosquats, maintainer signals, CVEs, and upgrade breakage — including the workflow that flagged a convincing fake Stripe SDK.

11How many free requests do I get?

555 requests per month on Free (1 tool call ≈ 1 request), across MCP, CLI hosted tools, and web terminal. Pro is 3,500 at $7/mo; Max is 10,000 at $19/mo. See Pricing and /docs/plans.
