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/shared/src/runner.ts:186
    const output = execFileSync(resolver, [cmd], {

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.

HTTP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for HTTP?
HTTP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone.
Is HTTP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 139 stars on GitHub and 32 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
