Two code artifacts feed a comparison ring while an unverified claim is stopped and a proof receipt exits
Free and open source

Give the agent evidence before it changes your codebase.

Ground computes evidence for TypeScript and JavaScript code claims. It also understands SvelteKit routes, aliases, component scripts, actions, stores, and entry points.

Verification belongs before the answer.

One indexed surface keeps installation, enforcement, and production evidence together.

01 / 03 Connect

Put the check beside the agent.

Choose one client. Every command points to the same open-source Ground MCP package.

02 / 03 Verify

Check first. Then record. Ground blocks an unverified claim.

Ground turns verification from a suggestion into a required sequence before its claim tools record a code finding.

  1. 01Check first

    Compare the files or count the uses.

  2. 02Then claim

    Attach the finding to what was checked.

  3. 03Blocked otherwise

    Stop an unsupported conclusion before it spreads.

# First, compare the files
ground compare utils.ts helpers.ts

# Then make the evidence-bound claim
ground claim duplicate utils.ts helpers.ts "same validation logic"

Claim blocked: compare these files first.

03 / 03 Trust

A smaller tool surface produces stronger claims.

The tool inventory supports one operating rule across TypeScript, JavaScript, and SvelteKit codebases.

Verify

  • ground_compareSee how similar two files actually are
  • ground_count_usesFind whether a function is actually used
  • ground_check_connectionsSee whether a module is connected
  • ground_check_environmentCatch runtime APIs in the wrong environment

Find problems

  • ground_find_duplicate_functionsFind copy-pasted code
  • ground_find_orphansFind files nothing imports
  • ground_find_dead_exportsFind exports nobody uses
  • ground_find_driftFind divergence from an owned pattern

Understand patterns

  • ground_adoption_ratioMeasure token or pattern adoption
  • ground_suggest_patternSuggest from the code already present
  • ground_mine_patternsDiscover repeated structures

Report findings

  • ground_claim_duplicateReport a verified duplicate
  • ground_claim_dead_codeReport verified dead code
  • ground_claim_orphanReport a verified orphan
Evidence
  • 21 MCP tools
  • Five native release targets
