Ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any AI connected to The Cloud "is this repo ready to open source", and it calls openRepoPreflight.

Example call

The MCP tools/call params, with the required arguments only.

{
  "arguments": {
    "owner": "<owner>",
    "repo": "<repo>"
  },
  "name": "openRepoPreflight"
}

Arguments

allowListstring[]optionalDocumented example keys the repository is meant to carry (for example AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE). A key-shaped match that contains an entry, or is contained by one, counts as allow-listed instead of a finding.
historyCommitsintegeroptionalHow many of the most recent commits the history check reads (default 500, ceiling 2000).
identifiersstring[]optionalCustomer identifiers to scan for. Omit to use the names and companies of your clients (the named Space's clients when space is set) plus the Space's own term list. The answer never prints these values.
maxFilesintegeroptionalHow many tracked text files the content scans read (default 600, ceiling 2000). A scan that cannot read every text file reports FAIL with how far it got.
ownerstringrequiredRepository owner
refstringoptionalBranch, tag, or commit SHA. Defaults to the default branch.
repostringrequiredRepository name
spacestringoptionalSpace whose clients and term list supply the default identifiers: its id, slug, exact name or a unique prefix.
taskIdstringoptionalYour own ledger row. The plain paths behind every hashed path are appended to its private note; without it they are kept nowhere.
