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.

Runs an external command packages/umbra-scan/bin.js:32
const { status, error } = spawnSync(process.execPath, [cli, ...process.argv.slice(2)], {
      await fs.writeFile(path.join(workdir, dockerfileArg), rendered, 'utf8');
Touches key and credential files src/engine/walker.ts:48
  const dotfiles = ['.npmrc', '.nvmrc', '.eslintrc', '.prettierrc', '.gitconfig', '.cursorrules'];

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.

Umbra — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Umbra?
Umbra 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 @elberacasa/umbra was installed 80 times last week.
How do I connect Umbra?
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 @elberacasa/umbra straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Umbra?
The npm package @elberacasa/umbra was installed 80 times in the last week. Week over week that is -11%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Umbra 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.
