knock runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 1 266 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 4 Nov 2026.
Code map and memory for AI coding agents: key functions, line ranges, callers, why code changed.
What the code does
We read the source, 3 d ago · rules 995398eba69f
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.
proc = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, timeout=timeout, env=_env(), stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL)
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.
