local only

Girder runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. Last commit 9 Sep 2026.

Semantic-graph code context: one function instead of a whole file, and minimal test selection.

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 install.js

File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] bin/girder-mcp.js:1, [пакет] bin/girder.js:1, [пакет] install.js:1 и ещё 1

этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет

Runs an external command npm/bin/girder-mcp.js:47, npm/bin/girder.js:29, npm/resolve.js:100 и ещё 3

const child = spawn(binary, ["mcp", ...forwarded], {

Builds a file path from a variable npm/install.js:84, [пакет] install.js:84

    const archive = path.join(scratch, asset);

Executes code built at runtime tools/authoring_task_check.py:25

        exec(compile(source, str(path), "exec"), namespace)

Runs an external command tools/harness_support.py:50

    process = subprocess.Popen(

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.

Girder — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Girder?

Girder 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 girder-mcp.

How do I connect Girder?

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 girder-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

Is Girder open source?

We cannot say that it is. On our reading no licence is declared for it, which is not the same as open source: source code can be public and still be proprietary. Check the terms with the vendor before you build on it.
