What the code does

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.

        self._log_file_path = os.path.join(log_dir, f"{self.task_id}.md")

Sugar — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Sugar?
Sugar 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 sugarai was installed 293 times last week.
How do I connect Sugar?
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 sugarai straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Sugar?
The pypi package sugarai was installed 293 times in the last week. Week over week that is -50%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Sugar open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python, 100 stars on GitHub and 4 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
