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.

    { name: "release directory", run: `rm -rf ${RELEASE_DIR} && mkdir -p ${RELEASE_DIR}` },
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.

We found things in this code

Toolfactory — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Toolfactory?
Toolfactory 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 toolfactory was installed 640 times last week.
How do I connect Toolfactory?
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 toolfactory straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Toolfactory?
The npm package toolfactory was installed 640 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Toolfactory open source?
We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
