# etincel

Étincel: a non-fiction writing connector for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and MCP-enabled tools. Trainable voice, premade emotional tones, and a transparent anti-AI-tells audit. Not an email client or editor replacement, a layer that keeps the writer in t

## Install

**Verdict: review** — Installable, but 2 things to check first: 1 npm lifecycle script flagged — these run on `npm install`, before the server is ever started.
**Cautions** (coverage gaps and advisories — never blocking)
- 1 npm lifecycle script flagged — these run on `npm install`, before the server is ever started. — postinstall: child_process module access
- No publisher has proved control of this listing; it is indexed, not vouched for.
**Config** (claude-code):
```json
"{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"etincel\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"-y\",\n        \"etincel\"\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}"
```

## Blast radius

Extensive to critical — no credential declaration found, from the publisher, the upstream registry, or the README. Known so far: deletes data; runs locally and hosted.
- Floor 46, ceiling 70 (tier: unknown)
- `unknown` means the floor and ceiling land in different bands — not measured enough to name one. It does not mean low.
- This is impact, not likelihood. A high radius is not a defect: a filesystem server is supposed to write files. It is never part of the trust score.
