What the code does

We read the source, 1 d ago · rules ccca72095570

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Runs an external command src/native-lsp.ts:152, src/setup.ts:400
        this.child = spawn(process.execPath, [lspBin, "--lsp", "--stdio"], {

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

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check prinfer every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

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 prinfer -- npx -y prinfer
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "prinfer": {
      "args": [

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: PRINFER_BACKEND (Backend for the hover and diagnostics tools. Use typescript6 if the native TypeScript 7 backend fails in your project.), PRINFER_COMPILER (Which TypeScript compilers to use: prinfer's bundled ones, the project's own (typescript 5.0 to 6.x; typescript 7 or @typescript/native-preview), or auto: the project's when supported, else bundled.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

answering

prinfer — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for prinfer?
prinfer 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 prinfer was installed 229 times last week.
How do I connect prinfer?
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 prinfer straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use prinfer?
The npm package prinfer was installed 229 times in the last week. Week over week that is +297%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is prinfer open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 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.
