What the code does

We read the source, 19 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

A tool parameter reaches a file or shell call geml_codemap_list.module → geml-parser/codemap/mcp-server.mjs:149, geml_check.root → geml-parser/src/mcp.ts:427, geml_codemap_list.module → geml-parser/codemap/mcp-server.mjs:152 и ещё 2

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.

GEML — a plain-text document format built to be edited in place, one section at a time — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for GEML — a plain-text document format built to be edited in place, one section at a time?
GEML — a plain-text document format built to be edited in place, one section at a time 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 @geml/geml was installed 638 times last week.
How do I connect GEML — a plain-text document format built to be edited in place, one section at a time?
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 @geml/geml straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use GEML — a plain-text document format built to be edited in place, one section at a time?
The npm package @geml/geml was installed 638 times in the last week. Week over week that is +127%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is GEML — a plain-text document format built to be edited in place, one section at a time open source?
We cannot say either way: written in HTML and 26 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
