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.

    proc = subprocess.run([node, os.path.join(_VENDOR, "render.js")], input=json.dumps(specs),
  const probe = spawnSync(python, ["-c", "import chap_analytics"], { stdio: "ignore" });
Builds a file path from a variable packages/chap-analytics/chap_analytics/frames.py:1553
            path = os.path.join(directory, f"{name}.csv")
Long encoded blob in source conformance/json-patch-vectors.json:43

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.

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.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: CHAP_DB_PATH (Path to a SQLite file. Without it the coordinator runs in memory and workspaces are lost when the client restarts), CHAP_PROFILES (Comma-separated CHAP profiles enabled on new workspaces. Defaults to Core plus review, whisper, deliberation, handoff, control, routing, modes and audit-scitt).

CHAP Coordinator — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for CHAP Coordinator?
CHAP Coordinator 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 @brightbeamai/chap-coordinator-mcp was installed 355 times last week.
How do I connect CHAP Coordinator?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @brightbeamai/chap-coordinator-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use CHAP Coordinator?
The npm package @brightbeamai/chap-coordinator-mcp was installed 355 times in the last week. Week over week that is +73%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is CHAP Coordinator open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in HTML, 122 stars on GitHub and 3 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
