What the code does

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

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.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add lakexpress-mcp -- uvx lakexpress-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lakexpress-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "lakexpress-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.lakexpress-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["lakexpress-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lakexpress-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "lakexpress-mcp"
      ],

    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: LAKEXPRESS_PATH (Path to the LakeXpress binary (optional — server runs in preview-only mode without it)), LAKEXPRESS_TIMEOUT (Execution timeout in seconds (default: 3600)), LAKEXPRESS_LOG_DIR (Directory for execution logs (default: ./logs)), FASTBCP_DIR_PATH (Path to FastBCP binary directory (auto-fills fastbcp_dir_path parameter)), LOG_LEVEL (Logging level: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR (default: INFO)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Lakexpress MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Lakexpress MCP?
Lakexpress MCP 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 lakexpress-mcp was installed 90 times last week.
How do I connect Lakexpress MCP?
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 lakexpress-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Lakexpress MCP?
The pypi package lakexpress-mcp was installed 90 times in the last week. Week over week that is -20%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Lakexpress MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python 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.
