What the code does

We read the source, 20 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

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] install.js:1, [пакет] lib.js:1, [пакет] run-gk.js:1

этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет

Runs an external command [пакет] lib.js:105

    let result = spawnSync(path.join(binDir, bin), args, {

Builds a file path from a variable [пакет] lib.js:35

                path.join(wrappedIn, bin).replace(/\\/g, "/"),

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.

Gk CLI — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Gk CLI?

Gk CLI 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 @gitkraken/gk was installed 12 113 times last week.

Is Gk CLI still maintained?

No commits for 14 months. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect Gk CLI?

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 @gitkraken/gk straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Gk CLI?

The npm package @gitkraken/gk was installed 12 113 times in the last week. Week over week that is +197%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Gk CLI open source?

We cannot say either way: 458 stars on GitHub and 21 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
