Rust MCP gateway with Code Mode, authentication, setup, logs, CLI, HTTP API, and operator web UI.

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.

We found things in this code
Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Labby and you get told the day something new turns up.
