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.

Secret passed into the image build Dockerfile:31
# Placeholder credentials so the server passes Glama's startup check
# (zod validates non-empty strings; backend rejects the dummy key at query
# time, but introspection — tools/list, resources/list — is purely static).
# Real users MUST override these via -e CONTEXTFORGE_AP…

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 contextforge-mcp -- npx -y contextforge-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextforge-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "contextforge-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.contextforge-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "contextforge-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextforge-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "contextforge-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextforge-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "contextforge-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CONTEXTFORGE_API_KEY (Your API key from the ContextForge dashboard at contextforge.dev), CONTEXTFORGE_API_URL (API endpoint URL (defaults to production)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Contextforge MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Contextforge MCP?
Contextforge MCP 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 contextforge-mcp was installed 197 times last week.
How do I connect Contextforge MCP?
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 contextforge-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Contextforge MCP?
The npm package contextforge-mcp was installed 197 times in the last week. Week over week that is -58%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Contextforge MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 2 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.
