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 src/mcp_synology/cli/version.py:209, [пакет] src/mcp_synology/cli/version.py:155

    result = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True)

Builds a database query by concatenation [пакет] .github/workflows/publish.yml:136, .github/workflows/publish.yml:156

      - name: Create or update GitHub Release
        env:
          GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}

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.

Synology NAS — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Synology NAS?

Synology NAS 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 mcp-synology was installed 183 times last week.

How do I connect Synology NAS?

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 mcp-synology straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Synology NAS?

The pypi package mcp-synology was installed 183 times in the last week. Week over week that is +6%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Synology NAS open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python, 7 stars on GitHub and 10 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
