What the code does

We read the source, 20 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.

Executes code built at runtime cruncher.js:1849, [пакет] cruncher.js:1849
                fn = new Function("return (" + parsedExpr + ")");

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 cruncher-mcp -- npx -y @slbdn/cruncher-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CRUNCHER_TOOL_SET (Tool exposure tier: 'minimal' (5 tools), 'standard' (34 tools, default), or 'full' (43 tools)), CRUNCHER_TIMEOUT (Worker thread timeout in milliseconds for heavy calculations (default: 3000, range: 100-60000)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Cruncher — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Cruncher?
Cruncher 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 @slbdn/cruncher-mcp was installed 44 times last week.
How do I connect Cruncher?
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 @slbdn/cruncher-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Cruncher?
The npm package @slbdn/cruncher-mcp was installed 44 times in the last week. Week over week that is +50%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Cruncher 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.
