MCP server for the Fail Modes taxonomy — a knowledge base of AI system failure modes
Remote endpoints: streamable-http: https://www.failmodes.com/api/mcp
This is a well-structured MCP server for accessing a public AI failure modes taxonomy with clean code patterns and appropriate security practices. The server makes unauthenticated HTTP requests to a trusted first-party domain (failmodes.com) to fetch public data, which is appropriate for its use case. No credentials, secrets, or dangerous patterns were detected. Minor code quality observations do not impact the security posture. Supply chain analysis found 2 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 2 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

From the project's GitHub README.
MCP server for the Fail Modes taxonomy — a machine-readable knowledge base of AI system failure modes.
Provides four tools over 100+ canonical failure mode records spanning factuality, alignment, planning, code generation, instruction following, and more.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_failure_modes | Search by symptom text or keyword phrase. Returns ranked matches. |
get_failure_mode | Retrieve the full structured record for a failure mode by ID slug. |
list_categories | List all taxonomy categories with descriptions and mode counts. |
list_modes | List all modes, optionally filtered by category ID. |
No installation required — run directly with npx:
npx failmodes-mcp
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"failmodes": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "failmodes-mcp"]
}
}
}
Add to your MCP settings file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"failmodes": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "failmodes-mcp"]
}
}
}
A hosted Streamable HTTP version is also available — no npm package needed:
{
"mcpServers": {
"failmodes": {
"url": "https://www.failmodes.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}
On first tool call, the server fetches current taxonomy data from failmodes.com and caches it in memory for the duration of the session. Requires internet access.
The stdio transport makes this compatible with any MCP client that supports running local processes (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, etc.).
