Is Amicus safe and trustworthy?

tashan scores Amicus on public evidence — tashan score 60.0/100, it is currently active, note: a single primary maintainer (bus-factor risk), no known advisories against the current release, it runs a script at install time, its declared dependencies reach: credentials. Audit scope: OSV advisories, install-time scripts, build provenance and declared permission surface. We do not review source code or execute the capability.

How do I install Amicus?

In Claude Code: run `claude mcp add amicus -- npx -y amicus`. In Cursor / Claude Desktop, add it to mcp.json / claude_desktop_config.json.

You are reading this because you came looking. tashan Pro gives tashan doctor the history behind it, so a run over your own config says which of YOURS moved.

You searched for one. Check the rest of your stack:

npx tashan-cli doctor

Reads the config already on your machine and names what is dead, deprecated or running code at install time. No account, nothing uploaded.
