What the code does

We have not read this server's code yet, 19 d ago · rules ccca72095570

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.

That is not a flaw by itself — but it is where things go wrong when it is not the job. We re-read this code on every release. Watch it and you hear from us the day another one appears.

CougarMap — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for CougarMap?
CougarMap 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 cougarmap was installed 1 times last week.
Is CougarMap still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect CougarMap?
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 cougarmap straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use CougarMap?
The pypi package cougarmap was installed 1 times in the last week. Week over week that is -89%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
