What the code does

We have not read this server's code yet, 14 d ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Claims read-only, but the code runs commands [пакет] src/threadfox_lite/browser.py:60, [пакет] src/threadfox_lite/node.py:89
        self.proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL,
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.

File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] src/threadfox_lite/__init__.py:1, [пакет] src/threadfox_lite/browser.py:1, [пакет] src/threadfox_lite/node.py:1 и ещё 3

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

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch ThreadFox Lite and you get told the day something new turns up.

ThreadFox Lite — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for ThreadFox Lite?
ThreadFox Lite 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 pypi package threadfox-lite was installed 418 times last week.
Is ThreadFox Lite still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect ThreadFox Lite?
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 threadfox-lite straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use ThreadFox Lite?
The pypi package threadfox-lite was installed 418 times in the last week. Week over week that is -75%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
