Reticle

An MCP server and agent skill that verifies coding-agent work by driving the real running app and returning pass, fail, or couldn't-tell verdicts with the file:line to fix; its listing frames the approach as Jev-style machine-native runtime perception.

About this project

Your AI agent says "done." Reticle checks whether that's true. It drives your real running app, reads what actually happened, and hands back pass · fail · couldn't tell with the file:line to fix. Ask anything, see what's being built, and help decide what ships next. The problem · Demo · What Reticle does · Install · Use it · Community · vs Playwright · Benchmarks · Safe to install · Docs. ⭐ Star the repo · Good first issues · Contribute.

Highlights

  • Installer registers the MCP server with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Zed, Gemini CLI, and more.
  • Per-project `npx @reticlehq/server init` wires the dev-only SDK and proves a session connected.
  • Returns pass, fail, or couldn't tell plus the file:line to fix, driven from plain-English requests.
  • Dev-only and localhost-only: app data stays local, per the README.
  • Requires Node 20.11+; Codex CLI keeps a TOML config the installer will not rewrite.

Quickstart

bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/reticlehq/reticle/main/install/install.sh | sh
npx @reticlehq/server init
npx @reticlehq/server doctor

Watch out

SDK and adapters are Apache-2.0 while the server is FSL, source-available and converting to Apache-2.0 after two years; requires Node 20.11+ and a running app.
