HTTP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 47 installs a week from npm. Last commit 4 Jul 2026.

What the code does

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Builds a file path from a variable servers/files/src/mutate.ts:93
  const stored = path.join(trashDir, id, path.basename(abs));
Dumps the whole environment servers/sql/src/connections.ts:20
  for (const [key, val] of Object.entries(process.env)) {

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add http -- npx -y @abhishekmcp/http
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "http": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@abhishekmcp/http"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@abhishekmcp/http"]

  "mcpServers": {
    "http": {
      "args": [
        "-y",

    }

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: HTTP_ALLOW_HOSTS (Comma-separated allowed hosts (exact or *.example.com). Required — the server refuses to start without it.), HTTP_WRITABLE (Set to 1 or true to allow mutating methods (POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

HTTP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for HTTP?
HTTP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @abhishekmcp/http was installed 47 times last week.
How do I connect HTTP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @abhishekmcp/http straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use HTTP?
The npm package @abhishekmcp/http was installed 47 times in the last week. Week over week that is +121%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is HTTP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
