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.

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

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
WORKFLOWS_DIR (Absolute or relative path to the workflows root directory.), GLOBAL_INSTRUCTIONS_PATH (Path to the global instructions markdown file. Derives from WORKFLOWS_DIR when not set.), WATCHER_DEBOUNCE_MS (Milliseconds to debounce filesystem change events before rebuilding the index.), MCP_HTTP_HOST (The hostname for the HTTP server.), MCP_HTTP_PORT (The port to run the HTTP server on.), MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH (The endpoint path for the MCP server.), MCP_AUTH_MODE (Authentication mode to use: 'none', 'jwt', or 'oauth'.), MCP_LOG_LEVEL (Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').).
