Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.
Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.
No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.
Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.
Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.
One switch stops every agent. Instantly.
One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.
Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.
Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.
Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.
Curated set · 2 capabilities
We ship only the actions that matter.
01-02
2 capabilities in this set.
Part of 2 available through Annotation Extractor and Tracker.
- 01
Process annotations
Compares annotations across multiple files. Use this to track changes, identify which markers were resolved since a previous scan, or get a density report for a directory.
- 02
Scan file
Scans a single file for specific annotations like TODO, FIXME, HACK, or XXX. You pass it a file path, and it returns a list of all markers found within that file.
Real work
What teams actually run
Pre-Merge Code Review
Before merging a feature branch, prompt the AI to scan the affected files. This confirms that no new FIXME or HACK markers were accidentally introduced.
Quarterly Code Audit
Run a comparison across the entire repository to generate a report showing how many old TODOs have been resolved since the last audit.
Feature Scope Assessment
When starting a new feature, use the density report to understand the existing level of technical debt in the target directory, setting realistic expectations.
Bug Fix Verification
After fixing a bug, use the capability to scan the relevant files. This verifies that the fix didn't introduce any new markers or leave behind old ones.
One connector, every AI
Annotation Extractor and Tracker works with the most popular AI clients.
These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Le ChatBuilding your own app? The connector is yours to use.
You don't need a client to put Annotation Extractor and Tracker to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

- 01
Software Developer
Use it to check your own files before committing code, ensuring you don't leave behind forgotten TODOs or HACK markers.
- 02
Tech Lead
Run it across entire modules to get a quick, quantitative report on the overall technical debt level of a feature.
- 03
Engineering Manager
Use it to track the resolution rate of technical debt across multiple sprints, providing metrics for project health.
FAQ
Questions Annotation Extractor and Tracker owners ask.
- 01
What types of annotations does this MCP track?
It specifically scans for common technical debt markers, including FIXME, HACK, TODO, and XXX. These are the markers developers use to flag temporary workarounds or incomplete features.
- 02
Can I use this to compare two different versions of my code?
Yes. The MCP includes a capability that processes annotations across multiple files. This lets you compare current file states against previous scans to see exactly what was resolved.
- 03
Is this capability just for finding TODOs?
No. It handles a range of markers, including HACK and FIXME. It's designed to give a comprehensive view of all intentional technical debt markers in your codebase.
- 04
Does this require me to set up a local server?
No. This MCP is hosted and managed by Vinkius. You simply connect your AI client to the catalog, and the capability is ready to use immediately.
- 05
What types of annotations can this server detect?
It detects standard markers including FIXME, HACK, and XXX annotations.
- 06
How can I identify if a task has been completed?
By using the process_annotations capability with a reference from a previous scan, you can see which annotations are now resolved.
- 07
Can I analyze a single file or an entire directory?
You can use scan_file for individual files or process_annotations to handle batch data for multiple files.
