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 core/codecanvas_mcp/graph/impact.py:142, core/codecanvas_mcp/mcp/interpreter.py:182, core/codecanvas_mcp/mcp/simulator.py:931 и ещё 3

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.

Codecanvas — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Codecanvas?

Codecanvas 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 pypi package codecanvas-mcp was installed 459 times last week.

How do I connect Codecanvas?

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 codecanvas-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Codecanvas?

The pypi package codecanvas-mcp was installed 459 times in the last week. Week over week that is +50%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Codecanvas open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 2 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.
