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 src/interactive-cli.ts:36
    pty.spawn(shell, args, { name: opts.name, cols: opts.cols, rows: opts.rows, cwd: opts.cwd, env: opts.env }) as never;

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

  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server": {
      "args": [
        "-y",

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

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: FLOWDOT_API_TOKEN (Your FlowDot MCP token (starts with fd_mcp_). Create one free at https://flowdot.ai/mcp), FLOWDOT_HUB_URL (FlowDot Hub URL. Defaults to https://flowdot.ai). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

FlowDot — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for FlowDot?
FlowDot 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 @flowdot.ai/mcp-server was installed 598 times last week.
How do I connect FlowDot?
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 @flowdot.ai/mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use FlowDot?
The npm package @flowdot.ai/mcp-server was installed 598 times in the last week. Week over week that is +203%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is FlowDot open source?
No, and the distinction matters: it ships its own licence file rather than a standard open-source licence. That makes it source-available — you can read the code, but the terms are the author's own, not one of the recognised open-source licences. Read them before you build on it.
