Architecture Diagrams runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 436 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 27 Oct 2026.

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.
const probe = spawnSync(cmd, ["--version"], { stdio: "ignore", shell: process.platform === "win32" });
out = subprocess.run([dot, "-V"], capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=15)
Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
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.
