Ariadne — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited Ariadne (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Ariadne's thread — a way out of the microservice maze.
Cross-service API dependency graph for Spring Boot + TypeScript microservice stacks. MCP stdio server for AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf), with a CLI twin. Local SQLite + TF-IDF. Zero ML dependencies.
Ariadne demo — scan Spring PetClinic microservices and ask "owner"
<sub>70-second deterministic terminal walkthrough. Reproduce it from docs/demo.tape.</sub>
Indexes the contract layer — GraphQL mutations, REST endpoints, Kafka topics, frontend queries. Nothing else. That's why results fit an AI context window.
Ask Claude "where does createOrder live across the stack?" and query_chains returns:
Top Cluster #1 [confidence: 0.91]
Services: gateway, orders-svc, billing-svc, web
- [web] Frontend Mutation: createOrder
- [gateway] GraphQL Mutation: createOrder
- [orders-svc] HTTP POST /orders: createOrder
- [orders-svc] Kafka Topic: order-created
- [billing-svc] Kafka Listener: order-created → chargeCustomerThe response is intentionally bounded for an AI context window. See the reproducible public-stack benchmark for measured retrieval, serialized token, and timing results against rg and grep.
Current public-stack benchmark (48 reviewed queries across Spring REST, GraphQL/TypeScript, Kafka, and FastAPI):
| Backend | Top-1 | Top-3 | MRR | Warm query | Mean output |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ariadne | 89.6% | 95.8% | 0.927 | <0.4 ms | 375 tokens |
rg | 37.5% | 56.2% | 0.510 | ~9 ms | 591 tokens |
grep | 37.5% | 56.2% | 0.510 | ~9 ms | 591 tokens |

This corpus is operation-name-heavy and measures deterministic contract lookup compatibility. It is not yet a natural-language relevance benchmark.
Reproduce the measurements with uv:
uv run --locked --extra benchmark python benchmarks/run.pyThe first run that uses tiktoken downloads its encoding data and needs network access. The benchmark also calls the system git, rg, and grep commands.
Supports: GraphQL · Spring HTTP/Kafka/RestClient · Python FastAPI · TypeScript Apollo/fetch/axios · Cube.js.
pip install ariadne-mcp
ariadne-mcp demoClones [spring-petclinic-microservices][petclinic] into ~/.cache/ariadne-mcp/demo, scans it, and prints the top cluster for owner — a real cross-service call chain. No config file, no workspace setup.
Did Ariadne find the chain you expected? Share one minute of [structured feedback][feedback-form]. Ariadne sends no usage data automatically; the form opens only when you choose to submit it.

pip install ariadne-mcp
cp "$(python -c 'import ariadne_mcp, os; print(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(ariadne_mcp.__file__), "ariadne.config.example.json"))')" ariadne.config.json
# edit ariadne.config.json (list the repos you want indexed)
ariadne-mcp install ariadne.config.json ~/your-workspaceRestart Claude Code. install is idempotent — re-run after pulling new code, or let the assistant call rescan on a stale_warning.
Prepare the environment with the project's pinned uv version, then configure the MCP client to launch that environment's Python directly:
cd /path/to/ariadne
uv sync --locked --no-dev --inexact
.venv/bin/python -m ariadne_mcp.server \
--db /path/to/workspace/.ariadne/ariadne.db \
--fb /path/to/workspace/.ariadne/feedback.dbUse an absolute interpreter path in the MCP client configuration. Run the sync step after dependency changes; it is separate from the long-running server. --inexact preserves other installed dependency groups in a development checkout. If UV_PROJECT_ENVIRONMENT selects another environment, configure that environment's Python instead of .venv/bin/python.
With the project's pinned uv version, wrapping a long-running server in uv run keeps uv's shared package-cache lock held for the server's lifetime, which prevents normal uv cache prune. A direct Python launch avoids that lock. Separate stdio client connections can run separate server processes.
After your first real query, you can optionally send [closed-ended usage feedback][feedback-form]. No source, query, or usage data is transmitted by Ariadne itself.

]}Scanners are inferred from each repo's top-level files (pom.xml / build.gradle / package.json / SDL). See docs/CONFIG.md for the detection table and override syntax.
Each sample pins an upstream commit, scans real service source, runs one query, and verifies manually reviewed node IDs:
| Example | Contract path |
|---|---|
spring-petclinic | Spring REST gateway → service |
one-platform | GraphQL/TypeScript services |
kafka-microservices | Kafka producer → consumer |
fastapi-microservices | Python FastAPI routes |
Run one from a source checkout:
python examples/run.py kafka-microservicesKeep a JSONL judgment list for queries that matter to your workspace:
{"hint":"createOrder","expected_node_ids":["gateway::gql::m::createOrder"],"k":3}
{"hint":"owner","expected_node_ids":["customers::http::GET /owners/{ownerId}"],"match":"any","k":5}Run it against a built DB:
ariadne-mcp --db .ariadne/ariadne.db eval eval/queries.jsonl --top 3 --min-hit-rate 0.8The command evaluates top-k hit rate and MRR using a stable internal candidate depth, and exits non-zero when a configured threshold fails. Add --feedback-db .ariadne/feedback.db to include local feedback reranking in the eval.

The server supports Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12. Runtime requirements are MCP Python SDK v1 (mcp>=1,<2) and PyYAML (PyYAML>=6,<7); tiktoken is an optional benchmark dependency. uv.lock pins the maintainer and CI environment and does not constrain dependencies resolved by package users.
