Failecho MCP Server

Failure intelligence for AI agents and autonomous software. Before you retry, check the echo. Its 4 documented tools cover tool, report, failure.

People who work with tool, report and failure and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Failecho

before you install - you'll need

Set FAILECHO_OPERATOR_TOKEN before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add failecho-failecho --transport http https://failecho.com/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "failecho-failecho": {
      "url": "https://failecho.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · remote - your agent's requests go to failecho.com

endpoint auth accepted our unauthenticated MCP initialize - no credentials needed to connect

repo age created 2026-09-10 - young repo, little track record yet

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package failecho-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry vendor namespace com.failecho - domain-verified with the official MCP registry

03 · What Failecho can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can call before retrying. What is happening with this failure right now, and what recovery actually worked?, and report whether a recovery action worked.
