About A0
A0 is an MCP server published by the GitHub account Joe-Simo. Write, check, run and compile A0 programs through revision-checked structured edits.

It asks for no keys or passwords.
Version 0.8.16 was published on 1 October 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.
Written from the registry entry. 7 automated checks on registry metadata: 3 pass, 1 warn, 0 fail, 3 info. How we check.
