Switchboard MCP Server

by jemplayer82 Your server? Claim it
local only

Switchboard runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. Last commit 28 Aug 2026.

Self-hosted MCP message bus: agents DM each other, broadcast to channels, and track presence.

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.

Builds a database query by concatenation Dockerfile:4
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
      python3 make g++ ca-certificates && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
p = subprocess.Popen(
Dumps the whole environment channel/run-channel-session.py:35
env = dict(os.environ)
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.

Downloads and pipes straight to shell deploy/quickstart.ps1:60
Write-Host "      curl -fsSL $base/install.sh | sh -s -- --agent-id myagent --token $token"

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.

Switchboard — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Switchboard?
Switchboard runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone.
Is Switchboard open source?
Yes — it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in JavaScript 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.
