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.
execSync(`git -C "${root}" rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree`, { stdio: "ignore" });
Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
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.
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.

Put your own value in place of
<GLM_API_KEY> (Z.ai / Zhipu GLM Coding Plan API key. Required for GLM calls; the server boots and answers MCP introspection without it).
The author’s registry entry marks it as required.
