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.

    return execFileSync(psExe, ["-NoProfile", "-NonInteractive", "-Command", script], {
Executes code built at runtime packages/extension/lib/cdp-manager.ts:341
          const v: unknown = new Function(`return (${expr})`)();
Reads files and sends them to the network packages/companion/src/http-api.ts:50
import { readFileSync, readdirSync, statSync } from "node:fs";
In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Builds a database query by concatenation .github/workflows/publish-yadagent.yml:43
      - name: Update npm (trusted publishing + provenance need npm >= 11.5.1)

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.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add yad-agent-mcp -- npx -y yad-agent-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yad-agent-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "yad-agent-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.yad-agent-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "yad-agent-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yad-agent-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "yad-agent-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yad-agent-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "yad-agent-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: YAD_COMPANION_URL (Base URL of the local Yad companion's HTTP API. Only needed if it runs on a non-default port.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Yad Agent MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Yad Agent MCP?
Yad Agent 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 yad-agent-mcp was installed 36 times last week.
How do I connect Yad Agent 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 yad-agent-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Yad Agent MCP?
The npm package yad-agent-mcp was installed 36 times in the last week. Week over week that is +18%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Yad Agent MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 4 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.
