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.

Checks whether it runs in a sandbox internal/oauth/env.go:60
    if _, err := os.Stat("/.dockerenv"); err == nil {

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.

GitHub — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for GitHub?
GitHub runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone.
Is GitHub open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Go, 1 stars on GitHub and 5 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
