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.
spawn(cmd, args, { detached: true, stdio: "ignore" }).unref();
Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
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.
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.
claude mcp add capsulate -- npx -y @capsulate/mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
CAPSULATE_API_KEY (A cap_live_ API key from the dashboard (Settings → API & Keys).), CAPSULATE_BASE_URL (API base URL. Defaults to https://api.capsulate.dev.), CAPSULATE_TEAM_ID (Team to bill. Defaults to the API key's team.).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
