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 [пакет] src/forge_mcp/vault_fs.py:731, src/forge_mcp/vault_fs.py:1330
        subprocess.run(
    env = env if env is not None else dict(os.environ)

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 forge-mcp -- uvx forge-recipe-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "forge-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "forge-recipe-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: FORGE_TRANSPILE_URL (Base URL of the forge-transpile service. Provides /catalog, /compile, /run, /resolve-slot endpoints backing the read/author tools.), FORGE_VAULT_PATH (Local vault directory used by forge_read_notes_in_vault + forge_commit_recipe. Must exist and be writable.), FORGE_MCP_BEARER (Bearer token forwarded to forge-transpile. Rotate by updating FORGE_TRANSPILE_SECRET on the upstream service and re-setting this. Dev fallback only when clients don't set Authorization on each request.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Forge MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Forge MCP?
Forge MCP 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 forge-recipe-mcp was installed 83 times last week.
How do I connect Forge MCP?
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 forge-recipe-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Forge MCP?
The pypi package forge-recipe-mcp was installed 83 times in the last week. Week over week that is -9%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Forge MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python 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.
