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 an external command src/cli/setup.ts:119, src/models/mlx-install.ts:97, src/models/platform.ts:17 и ещё 2

    execFile(claude, ['mcp', 'list'], { timeout: 30_000, encoding: 'utf8' }, (_err, stdout) => resolve(String(stdout)));

Builds a file path from a variable src/cli/setup.ts:98, src/config/paths.ts:35, src/runtime/binary.ts:34

    const candidate = path.join(dir, bin);

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.

Clef MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Clef MCP?

Clef MCP 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 clef-mcp was installed 481 times last week.

How do I connect Clef MCP?

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 clef-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Clef MCP?

The npm package clef-mcp was installed 481 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 Clef MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 7 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
