Unraid RMCP MCP Server

What the code does

We read the source, 5 d ago · rules 995398eba69f

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

  const install = spawnSync(process.execPath, [installer], { stdio: "inherit" });

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.

IS_DOCKER = Path("/.dockerenv").exists()

    exec($command . ' 2>&1', $out, $code);
