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.

Dumps the whole environment src/sim_mirror/cli/context.py:95, src/sim_mirror/doctor/checks.py:88, src/sim_mirror/perception/vision/helper.py:162 и ещё 7

        return cls(env=dict(os.environ), cwd=Path.cwd(), stdout=sys.stdout, stderr=sys.stderr, stdin=sys.stdin)

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.

SimMirror — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for SimMirror?

SimMirror 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 sim-mirror.

How do I connect SimMirror?

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 sim-mirror straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

Is SimMirror open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python, 2 stars on GitHub and 4 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
