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.

Runs a command on install [пакет] package.json:1

postinstall: node scripts/fetch-grammars.mjs

Runs an external command src/resolve/pyrightClient.ts:82

  const server: ChildProcessWithoutNullStreams = spawn(

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.

Sonde — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Sonde?

Sonde 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 @cheppulabs/sonde was installed 477 times last week.

How do I connect Sonde?

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 @cheppulabs/sonde straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Sonde?

The npm package @cheppulabs/sonde was installed 477 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Sonde open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 1 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.
