Bike Router runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 591 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 29 Oct 2026.
Plan bike routes with a self-hosted OSM service: facts only, with weather and sights.

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.
return subprocess.run(cmd, check=False, capture_output=capture, text=True) # noqa: S603

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.
