What the code does

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.

  return spawnSync(

    ['--experimental-strip-types', path.join(CHILDREN, script), ...args],

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

          gh pr edit "$PR_URL" --add-label major-update
        env:
          PR_URL: ${{ github.event.pull_request.html_url }}
