What the code does

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.

IS_DOCKER = Path("/.dockerenv").exists()
Runs a command on install [пакет] package.json:1
postinstall: node scripts/install.js
File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] bin/runraid.js:1
этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет
    exec($command . ' 2>&1', $out, $code);
In the project's build, not in the package

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.

Builds a database query by concatenation .github/workflows/schema-drift.yml:276
      - name: Open / update Rust drift issue
        if: ${{ !cancelled() && steps.rust_diff.outputs.drift == 'true' }}

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

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.

Connect this server

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add unraid -- npx -y @dinglebear/unraid
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unraid": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@dinglebear/unraid"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }

    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: UNRAID_API_URL (Full Unraid GraphQL endpoint URL.), UNRAID_API_KEY (Unraid API key.), UNRAID_RMCP_VERSION (Optional GitHub release tag override for the downloaded Unraid RMCP binary.), UNRAID_RMCP_REPO (Optional GitHub owner/repo override for release asset downloads.), UNRAID_RMCP_RELEASE_BASE_URL (Optional release download base URL override.), RUST_LOG (Tracing filter for Unraid RMCP logs.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Unraid RMCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Unraid RMCP?
Unraid RMCP 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 @dinglebear/unraid was installed 53 times last week.
How do I connect Unraid RMCP?
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 @dinglebear/unraid straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Unraid RMCP?
The npm package @dinglebear/unraid was installed 53 times in the last week. Week over week that is +59%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Unraid RMCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 131 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
