Cortex RMCP MCP Server

What the code does

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.

postinstall: node scripts/install.js

if (!fs.existsSync(binary)) { const installer = path.resolve(__dirname, "..", "scripts", "install.js"); const install = spawnSync(process.execPath, [installer], { stdio: "inherit" }); if (install.status !== 0) fail("binary is not installed; postinstall may have failed"); }

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.

         DO UPDATE SET count_in_window = count_in_window + excluded.count_in_window",

                source: Some("/var/run/docker.sock".to_string()),

        .map(|h| h.join(".ssh/config"))

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CORTEX_HOME (Optional Cortex home directory containing configuration and local SQLite data.), CORTEX_TOKEN (Optional bearer token for Cortex MCP HTTP mode; also used by some shared configs.), CORTEX_API_TOKEN (Bearer token for Cortex REST API routes when running daemon/API mode.), CORTEX_RMCP_VERSION (Optional GitHub release tag override for the downloaded Cortex binary.), CORTEX_RMCP_REPO (Optional GitHub owner/repo override for release asset downloads.), CORTEX_RMCP_RELEASE_BASE_URL (Optional release download base URL override.), RUST_LOG (Tracing filter for Cortex logs.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
