What the code does

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 a command on install [пакет] package.json:1

postinstall: node download.mjs

File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] bin/index.js:1, [пакет] platform-packages/darwin-arm64/index.js:1, [пакет] platform-packages/darwin-x64/index.js:1 и ещё 5

этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет

Runs an external command npm/bin/index.js:28, [пакет] bin/index.js:28

const child = spawn(binary, process.argv.slice(2), {

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.

codebase-synapse — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for codebase-synapse?

codebase-synapse 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 codebase-synapse was installed 76 times last week.

How do I connect codebase-synapse?

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 codebase-synapse straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use codebase-synapse?

The npm package codebase-synapse was installed 76 times in the last week. Week over week that is +542%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is codebase-synapse open source?

We cannot say either way: written in Rust and 2 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
