What the code does

We read the source, 23 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 an external command src/program.ts:26, src/powershell.ts:101

      child = spawn(program, args, {

Touches key and credential files src/index.ts:111

    privateKeyPath: z.string().optional().describe("Path to a private key file on this Windows host, e.g. C:\\\\Users\\\\isak\\\\.ssh\\\\id_ed25519."),

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.

Powershell MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Powershell MCP?

Powershell 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 powershell-mcp was installed 123 times last week.

How do I connect Powershell 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 powershell-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Powershell MCP?

The npm package powershell-mcp was installed 123 times in the last week. Week over week that is +30%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Powershell MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 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.
