What the code does

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.

Sends data to a third-party sink src/client.ts:138, src/tools/messages.ts:1569
  async requestBinary(method: string, path: string): Promise<BinaryResponse> {

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

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.

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 ofw-mcp -- npx -y ofw-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: OFW_USERNAME (Your OurFamilyWizard login email address. Optional — if omitted, the server falls back to the fetchproxy browser extension (requires being signed in to ourfamilywizard.com).), OFW_PASSWORD (Your OurFamilyWizard password. Optional — see OFW_USERNAME.), OFW_WRITE_MODE (Write-tool gate: "none" registers no write tools; "drafts" registers draft-level writes only (save/delete drafts, upload attachments); "all" registers everything (default). Unrecognized values fail closed to "none".), OFW_CALENDAR_WRITES (Set to "true" to register calendar write tools (create/update/delete event) in "drafts" write mode. Events have no draft stage but are reversible. Never overrides "none".), OFW_ALLOW_MARK_READ (Default "true". Set "false" to forbid any tool from marking a message read on OurFamilyWizard - reading a body for the first time stamps a co-parent-visible "First Viewed" time that cannot be undone. A ceiling: no per-call argument can raise it.), OFW_FETCH_UNREAD_BODIES (Default "false". Whether ofw_sync_messages fetches unread inbox bodies by default (each fetch stamps a First Viewed time). Capped by OFW_ALLOW_MARK_READ.), OFW_SESSION_CACHE (Set to false to disable the on-disk session cache and re-authenticate on every process start. Defaults to enabled.), OFW_SESSION_FILE (Absolute path for the session cache file. Defaults to $MCP_DATA_DIR/.ofw-mcp/session.json.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Ofw MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Ofw MCP?
Ofw MCP 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 npm package ofw-mcp was installed 800 times last week.
How do I connect Ofw MCP?
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 ofw-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Ofw MCP?
The npm package ofw-mcp was installed 800 times in the last week. Week over week that is +182%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Ofw MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 10 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
