Voyager Repo MCP Server

local only

Voyager Repo runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 74 installs a week from npm. Last commit 20 Jul 2026.

An AI agent's safe read-only scout to orient in an unknown repository before touching it.

What the code does

We read the source, 22 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Claims read-only, but the code runs commands src/util.ts:18
    execFile(cmd, finalArgs, { cwd, timeout: timeoutMs, maxBuffer: 16 * 1024 * 1024, windowsHide: true, shell: false, env }, (err, stdout, stderr) => {
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 an external command src/util.ts:18
    execFile(cmd, finalArgs, { cwd, timeout: timeoutMs, maxBuffer: 16 * 1024 * 1024, windowsHide: true, shell: false, env }, (err, stdout, stderr) => {

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

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 Voyager Repo and you get told the day something new turns up.

Voyager Repo — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Voyager Repo?
Voyager Repo 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 @dir-ai/voyager-repo was installed 74 times last week.
How do I connect Voyager Repo?
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 @dir-ai/voyager-repo straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Voyager Repo?
The npm package @dir-ai/voyager-repo was installed 74 times in the last week. Week over week that is +105%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Voyager Repo open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
