Model Context Protocol server for Rollbar
Backend Investigator is installed from its publisher's own source and answers where it runs, so this marketplace is not in the path of a single call. There is no address here to send one to, and a panel that pretended otherwise would be showing you an answer we made up. Install it and call it from your own client — the Installation tab has the entry for each one.
What it does
Read-only Loki logs and PostgreSQL diagnostics for backend investigations in your AI client.
Quickstart
# 1 — add it to Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user backend-investigator-mcp '--' npx -y @mr.zedov/backend-investigator
# 2 — ask your agent for something these tools do
# list_projects, get_project_capabilities, investigate_backend and 11 more
Backend Investigator costs nothing on mcprush: there is no plan to choose here, no cap to set and nothing mcprush can bill you for.
Where are you running it?
Every route below installs the same thing and ends at the same approval screen. This one runs on your machine: your client starts Backend Investigator as a process under your own user, with your files and your network, so the tool surface below is what it can do to your computer rather than to a server somewhere else. Its scan result is on the Security tab — read the surface before you approve it.
This is a public server: you run it yourself and this marketplace is not in the path. You need Node.js — the current LTS (24) is the safe choice; npx comes with it. Claude Code registers it in one command; --scope user makes it available in every project. The '--' is in quotes so that PowerShell passes it on.
claude mcp add --scope user backend-investigator-mcp '--' npx -y @mr.zedov/backend-investigatorReconnect, or start a new session, and the tools appear in the model’s tool list.
Nothing is required, but it can take BACKEND_INVESTIGATOR_WORKSPACE (Optional absolute Linux/WSL application root initialized with setup. Restricts tools and history to its bound project. Omit only for intentional shared mode.) if you want to set it.
One config entry your client uses to start the process locally. A local server runs with your file system and your network, which is why it is priced without metering.
14 tools, with what each one reads, writes and reaches shown before you agree — the same list on every route above. Read the tool surface.

- Every tool, no call limit
- No card, and mcprush charges nothing for it
- Source is public; its licence metadata reads SEE LICENSE IN Backend Investigator Free Use License.txt rather than naming a licence
- Runs on your machine — nothing of it reaches our gateway
- Nothing to cap, because mcprush bills nothing
What counts against your monthly calls
| Tool | Unit | Calls used | Out of the allowance |
|---|
Nothing here is billable: mcprush charges nothing to install Backend Investigator or to call it, at any volume.
Two independent axes, because powerful and malicious are different questions. The grade is threat only. The capability level is blast radius, and it is never a penalty on the grade — it is priced as one subtract-only term in the score, where you can see it.
| Term | Level | What it prices | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| capability-exposure | moderate | capability blast radius (moderate) — client exposure if the model is manipulated | −3 |
| verification-discount | none | publisher verification (unlinked) — no provenance/repo link, but the shipped source was fully read | −2 |
| coverage-honesty | source | inspection depth (source) — how much of the target the scan could see | −0 |
What the scan could actually read
A grade is only as meaningful as its coverage, so the scanner publishes its own depth before it publishes its result.
Tools were statically extracted from the published source (14 recovered), not enumerated from a running server. Tool-poisoning, Unicode-smuggling, capability and toxic-flow analysis ran on this inferred surface, but a mis-parsed registration could be missed or mis-attributed, so tool-derived findings are capped below “confirmed”. To grade the real runtime surface, scan the running server: --command "npx -y <package>".
14 of the 14 recovered tools are registered only when !Number.isSafeInteger(maximumBytes) || maximumBytes < 1024 || maximumBytes > 1e6 is false (dist/backend-investigator.mjs:7943) — typically when a key or option is configured. They are part of the server's surface and were analysed; a server started without that configuration exposes none of the recovered tools.
Capability — what it could do if the model were manipulated
Tags derived from each tool’s schema and the implementation, not from what the tool calls itself. moderate is the level these add up to.
No tool is registered unconditionally · 14 only when !Number.isSafeInteger(maximumBytes) || maximumBytes < 1024 || maximumBytes > 1e6 is false (dist/backend-investigator.mjs:7943) — typically when a key or option is configured. All 14 are in the table below and were analysed; the conditional ones are marked.
| Tool | Capability tags | Why the tag was assigned |
|---|---|---|
| list_projects conditional | no tags | |
| get_project_capabilities conditional | no tags | |
| investigate_backend conditional | no tags | |
| investigate_operation conditional | no tags | |
| investigate_deployment_regression conditional | no tags | |

Toxic-flow graph
The lethal trifecta, checked as a graph rather than as a checklist: untrusted input, a sensitive source and an external sink have to meet before there is a path worth worrying about.
The public result for this release does not print the flow graph, so there is nothing to show here. That is not the same as "no paths were found": what the scan did read is above, under coverage.
Supply chain and provenance
This is the first scan of this surface here, so there is nothing yet to compare it against.
Every result on this tab comes from one deterministic pass over the published package — offline, rule by rule, and auditable line by line above. Same methodology version, same bytes, same score.
Release history
Always latest — the install command names no version, so it installs the newest release when it runs; the current release on file is 1.7.1. Pin a release below and the command asks for exactly that one.
- Improved investigation accuracy and safer conclusions: Redis slow commands now use their actual event time, preventing old events from being linked to current incidents. Findings distinguish shared request/trace/job IDs, verified dependencies, timing overlaps, and diagnostic hints. Hypotheses use more cautious confidence ratings when evidence is incomplete, sampled, or contradictory. Existing investigation history remains compatible.
- Prometheus historical metrics through inspect_metrics, setup and CLI: scoped availability, HTTP latency/error/throughput, process resources and bounded before/after window comparison. Opt-in PostgreSQL performance statistics for statements, tables, indexes, VACUUM and I/O; existing health/activity/locks remain the default. Safe local MCP lifecycle diagnostics on stderr, without credentials, arguments or tool results. Workspace setup prints a Linux Node/npx @latest launch configuration. Package resolution happens on new starts, not while an MCP process is running. There are 14 MCP tools. Diagnostics remain read-only; no arbitrary SQL/PromQL or maintenance commands are exposed. Usage statistics retain their separate, explicit opt-in consent.

One review per account, from a signed-in account that does not publish this listing. Nothing else is asked — you can say what you think before you install it. Publishers can reply once per review, and a review can be edited or deleted by whoever wrote it.
Any signed-in account that does not publish Backend Investigator can review it, once — before installing it or after. A review from an account that has installed it is marked as one.
Nobody has reviewed this listing. The rating on the card is the mean of the reviews written here and nothing else, so there is no rating until somebody writes the first — which takes a signed-in account that does not publish it, and nothing else.
