methodist
The checkpoint: submit a stage's work and receive a verdict.
How to use it
methodist is exposed by the Openarx Core MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the methodist tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.
