Gitwand MCP Server

What the code does

We read the source, 22 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

      const content = readFileSync(filePath, "utf-8");

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.

    execFileSync(whichCmd, [bin], { stdio: ["ignore", "pipe", "ignore"] });

        const gitDir = path.isAbsolute(gitDirRaw) ? gitDirRaw : path.join(resolvedCwd, gitDirRaw);

import { readFileSync, writeFileSync, readdirSync, statSync, existsSync, unlinkSync, realpathSync, renameSync, mkdirSync, mkdtempSync, rmSync, copyFileSync, watch } from "node:fs";

  for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(process.env)) {

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.

      - name: Pull auto-update manifest from latest release
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
