What the code does

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Claims read-only, but the code runs commands hooks/test-package-contract.py:121
        result = subprocess.run(
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 a command on install [пакет] package.json:1
postinstall: node ./install.js
File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] binary-install.js:1, [пакет] binary.js:1, [пакет] install.js:1 и ещё 1
этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет
Runs an external command hooks/test-package-contract.py:121

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch argot and you get told the day something new turns up.

answering

argot — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for argot?
argot 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 @tmonier/argot was installed 108 times last week.
How do I connect argot?
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 @tmonier/argot straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use argot?
The npm package @tmonier/argot was installed 108 times in the last week. Week over week that is +826%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is argot open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Rust and 50 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.
