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 an external command generate_diagrams.py:106, src/ask_fable/fable.py:140, [пакет] src/ask_fable/cli_gate.py:154 и ещё 2

    subprocess.run(['npx', '-y', '@mermaid-js/mermaid-cli', '-i', filename, '-o', png_filename, '-b', 'transparent'], check=True)

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.

ask-fable — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for ask-fable?

ask-fable 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 ask-fable.

How do I connect ask-fable?

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 ask-fable straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

Is ask-fable open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 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.
