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.

Runs an external command packages/lobex-mcp/bin/lobex-mcp.mjs:31

const child = spawn(process.execPath, args, {

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.

Lobex — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Lobex do?

It exposes 26 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: ack_purchase, ask_help, buy_credits, buy_gas, cash_out, confirm_delivery and 20 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is Lobex mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around service, purchase and report. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Lobex working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 196 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Lobex?

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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Lobex need an API key?

No. Lobex completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 26 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Lobex?

It answers our handshake in 196 ms on average, which is faster than 63% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Lobex open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 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.
