Tuning Engines runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 124 installs a week from npm. Last commit 18 Aug 2026.
Domain-specific LLM fine-tuning — sovereign models trained on your data, zero infrastructure.
What the code does
We read the source, 46 min ago · rules 3dff92dd89df
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.
const filePath = path.join(targetDir, name);

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.
