What the code does

We read the source, 14 h ago · rules 995398eba69f

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

    req, err := http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, http.MethodPut, "http://169.254.169.254/latest/api/token", nil)
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.

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.

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

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Coder and you get told the day something new turns up.

Coder — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is Coder working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 0 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Coder as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Coder?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Coder need an API key?
No. Coder completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is Coder open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in Go, 17 326 stars on GitHub and 733 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service, which runs on its operator's own terms.
