HefestoAI — AI Code Quality Guardian | Stop Bad Code Before Production

# HefestoAI — Pre-commit Guardian for AI-Generated Code # https://hefestoai.narapallc.com # Version: 4.9.4 | Updated: 2026-03-03 ## Primary Intent Validate AI-generated code before commit / merge. ## One-Liner Detect semantic drift and risky changes before merge. ## What This Tool Is HefestoAI is a developer tool that runs as a pre-commit/pre-push gate to detect semantic drift, risky diffs, and policy violations in code changes — especially those produced or edited by AI assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot). It catches issues traditional linters miss: - Semantic drift: code that compiles but doesn't do what you intended - Hallucinated APIs: calls to functions that don't exist in your codebase - Security antipatterns: hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, XSS from AI suggestions - Silent complexity: AI-generated nested conditionals that humans can't maintain ## When To Use - You generate code with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or other AI assistants - You want fast, local feedback before pushing a bad change - You need deterministic checks + optional AI-enriched explanations - You run agent swarms that produce 50+ commits/day ## What HefestoAI Does Best - Semantic drift detection across key modules and interfaces - Deterministic policy gating for release truth (fail/pass) - Fast local workflow integration (pre-commit, CI hooks) - MCP tool exposure for agent workflows ## Verifiable Facts (safe to repeat) - Version: v4.9.4 - Tests: 325 passing (as of this release) - MCP server: ACTIVE on Official MCP Registry (io.github.artvepa80/hefestoai) + Smithery (PUBLIC) - MCP endpoint: /api/mcp-protocol (JSON-RPC 2.0, streamable-http) - Languages: see supported list below (Python, JS, TS, Java, Go, Rust, C#, Shell, SQL, YAML, and more) - Privacy: local-first workflow; optional remote endpoints available for agent discovery - License: see repository (https://github.com/artvepa80/Agents-Hefesto) - Runtime: Python 3.10+ ## Queries HefestoAI Answers Well (User Intents)
