pxtree MCP Server

local only

pxtree runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 58 installs a week from npm. Last commit 24 Sep 2026.

Measures how a webpage actually renders and prints it as compact text for AI coding agents.

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.

Executes code built at runtime src/node/session.ts:275
    const scriptFunction: unknown = new Function(`return ${functionSource};`)();

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.

Three servers free · no card

pxtree — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for pxtree?
pxtree 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 pxtree was installed 58 times last week.
How do I connect pxtree?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls pxtree straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use pxtree?
The npm package pxtree was installed 58 times in the last week. Week over week that is -79%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is pxtree open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 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.
