What the code does

We read the source, 20 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

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.

    const child = spawn(process.execPath, args, { stdio: 'inherit' });

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 stickies -- npx -y stickies-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stickies": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "stickies-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml

command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "stickies-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stickies": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "stickies-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }

      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: STICKIES_DB (Path to the SQLite store (default ~/.stickies/stickies.db).), STICKIES_DISCORD_WEBHOOK (Optional Discord webhook URL to mirror sticky lifecycle events.), STICKIES_SYNC_REPO (Path to a git clone you own, used as the opt-in cross-machine sync store.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Stickies — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Stickies?
Stickies 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 stickies-mcp was installed 62 times last week.
How do I connect Stickies?
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 stickies-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Stickies?
The npm package stickies-mcp was installed 62 times in the last week. Week over week that is +978%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Stickies open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 1 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.
