Orca MCP Server runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 48 installs a week from npm. Last commit 3 Jun 2026.
Go from natural language to verified finite state machines — topology bugs caught before code runs.

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.
meta = pickle.load(f)
const stdout = execSync(cmd, { cwd, encoding: 'utf-8', timeout, maxBuffer: 10 * 1024 * 1024 });

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
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.
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.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (Anthropic API key for LLM-powered tools (generate_machine, generate_multi_machine, refine_machine, generate_actions with use_llm). Not required for parse_machine, verify_machine, compile_machine, or server_status.), ORCA_PROVIDER (LLM provider to use: anthropic (default), openai, grok, or ollama.), ORCA_MODEL (Model name to use for LLM tools. Defaults to claude-sonnet-4-6 for Anthropic.).
