readme

boikot 🙅‍♀️

boikot is a community-led initiative to make data on company ethics transparent and accessible.

We are building a community-curated, transparent, freely accessible collection of corporate ethics records. By documenting ethical and unethical business practices, we aim to inform consumer choice, raise the cost of harmful business decisions, and incentivise companies to act responsibly in the public interest.

All of our services and data are offered free to the public under the terms of the GPL v3 licence. You can download our full companies dataset from the file called boikot.json above.

The main product being worked on is the boikot.xyz website which provides access to our data and tools to add new records to it. This is a react project in the site directory. There also some tools for collecting and summarising information in the scripts and backend directories.

MCP

We also have an MCP server that exposes a tool to lookup company ethics information. This is available from the URL https://mcp.boikot.xyz/mcp with no authentication needed. It provides one tool called lookup_company_information which takes one parameter company_name and returns information about the company's ethics.

the dataset

the boikot.json file is a database of the ethical and unethical practices of different companies. Each item in the "companies" object represents a company ethics record. Each of these items has a "names" areay containing names that can be used for the company, of which the first entry is the most commonly used name. They also have a "comment" string which is a comment on the ethics of the company, with sources denoted by numbers in square brackets eg. [1][2]. The URLs for these sources are in the "sources" object which is a mapping from the source numbers to URLs. Each company also has tags in the "tags" array, which are strings that describe the company. Finally each company has a "logoUrl" and "siteUrl" which are URLs for the company's logo image and website. There is an "updatedAt" timestamp on each item to track when it was last updated.

FAQ

What is the Company Ethics Information (Boikot) MCP server?
Company Ethics Information (Boikot) is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
How are reviews shown for Company Ethics Information (Boikot)?
This profile displays 31 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.8 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.

Implementation Guide▌

Prerequisites

  • ›Claude Desktop 0.7.0+ or Cursor IDE with MCP support
  • ›Basic understanding of MCP architecture and capabilities
  • ›Access credentials for integrated services (if required)
  • ›Willingness to experiment and iterate on configuration

Time Estimate

15-60 minutes depending on server complexity

Installation Steps

  1. 1.Install MCP server: npm install -g [package-name] or via GitHub
  2. 2.Add server configuration to ~/.claude/mcp.json
  3. 3.Provide required credentials and configuration
  4. 4.Restart Claude Desktop to load new server
  5. 5.Test basic functionality with simple prompts
  6. 6.Explore capabilities and experiment with use cases
  7. 7.Document successful patterns for reuse

Troubleshooting

  • ⚠MCP server not loading: Check config syntax, verify installation
  • ⚠Connection errors: Check network, firewall, credentials
  • ⚠Feature not working: Read server docs, check required parameters
  • ⚠Performance issues: Monitor resource usage, check for network latency
  • ⚠Conflicts with other servers: Check port assignments, namespace collisions

Best Practices▌

✓ Do

  • +Read server documentation thoroughly before setup
  • +Start with simple use cases to validate functionality
  • +Test in non-production environment first
  • +Monitor resource usage and performance
  • +Keep servers updated for bug fixes and new features
  • +Document configuration for team members
  • +Use environment variables for sensitive configuration

✗ Don't

  • −Don't grant overly permissive access to MCP servers
  • −Don't skip reading security considerations in docs
  • −Don't expose sensitive data without proper controls
  • −Don't run untrusted MCP servers without code review
  • −Don't ignore error messages—investigate root cause

💡 Pro Tips

  • ★Combine multiple MCP servers for powerful workflows
  • ★Create custom MCP servers for your specific needs
  • ★Share successful configurations with team
  • ★Use MCP inspector for debugging
  • ★Join MCP community for tips and troubleshooting

Technical Details▌

Architecture

Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.

Protocols

  • Model Context Protocol (MCP)
  • JSON-RPC 2.0
  • stdio or HTTP transport

Compatibility

  • Claude Desktop
  • Cursor IDE
  • Custom MCP clients

When to Use This▌

✓ Use When

Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.

✗ Avoid When

Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.

Integration▌

  • →Tool composition: Chain multiple MCP tools in workflows
  • →Context augmentation: Provide AI with relevant external data
  • →Action delegation: Let AI execute tasks on external systems
  • →Bidirectional sync: Keep AI context and external systems in sync
