Slimsnap MCP Server

What the code does

We read the source, 22 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

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.

Builds a file path from a variable tools/make-samples.py:109
    d = os.path.join(OUT, dirname)

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

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.

Three servers free · no card

Slimsnap — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Slimsnap?
Slimsnap 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 @slimsnap/mcp was installed 42 times last week.
How do I connect Slimsnap?
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 @slimsnap/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Slimsnap?
The npm package @slimsnap/mcp was installed 42 times in the last week. Week over week that is +34%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Slimsnap open source?
We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
