What the code does

We read the source, 20 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

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.

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

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.

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add sugar -- uvx sugarai
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sugar": {
      "args": [
        "sugarai"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.sugar]
command = "uvx"
args = ["sugarai"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sugar": {
      "args": [
        "sugarai"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sugar": {
      "args": [
        "sugarai"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (Anthropic API key for Claude model access), GITHUB_TOKEN (GitHub token for repository access), SUGAR_DEFAULT_REPO (Default repository in owner/repo format). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

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 295 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 with the file path 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 295 times in the last week. Week over week that is -55%. 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, 94 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.
