What the code does

We read the source, 21 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

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 a command on install [пакет] package.json:1
postinstall: node scripts/postinstall.js

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.

Nvidia Nim MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Nvidia Nim MCP?
Nvidia Nim MCP 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 nvidia-nim-mcp was installed 56 times last week.
How do I connect Nvidia Nim MCP?
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 nvidia-nim-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Nvidia Nim MCP?
The npm package nvidia-nim-mcp was installed 56 times in the last week. Week over week that is -22%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Nvidia Nim MCP 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.
