Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Deletes files or strips permissions cmd/cartographer/kbcmd.go:278
    return "rm -rf " + dir
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.

Checks whether it runs in a sandbox internal/updatecheck/channel.go:150
    if env.Exists != nil && env.Exists("/.dockerenv") {
    return filepath.Join(home, ".config", "systemd", "user", name), nil
Builds a database query by concatenation cmd/cartographer/tui.go:1239
    if s.Update != nil {
        versions += styleDrift.Render(" · " + s.Update.Latest + " available")
Touches key and credential files internal/lint/lint.go:1040

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Cartographer and you get told the day something new turns up.

Cartographer — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Cartographer?
Cartographer runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone.
Is Cartographer open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Go and 50 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.
