What the code does

We read the source, 22 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

A tool parameter reaches a file or shell call ae_execRecover.code → plugin/host/mcp/recovery-store.js:97
        fs.writeFileSync(paths.scriptPath, String(input.code), 'utf8');
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.

File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] bin/ae-mcp-jkdg.js:1
этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет
    var tmp = path.join(dir, 'auth-token.' + process.pid + '.' + Date.now() + '.tmp');
Executes code built at runtime plugin/jsx/runtime.jsx:59
        return eval('(' + src + ')');
Builds a database query by concatenation plugin/panel/src/components/chat/AttachmentPond.jsx:41
  const labelIdle = labels.drop
    + ' <span class="filepond--label-action">' + labels.add + '</span>';

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

That is not a flaw by itself — but it is where things go wrong when it is not the job. We re-read this code on every release. Watch it and you hear from us the day another one appears.

Ae MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Ae MCP?
Ae MCP 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 ae-mcp-jkdg was installed 53 times last week.
How do I connect Ae MCP?
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 ae-mcp-jkdg straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Ae MCP?
The npm package ae-mcp-jkdg was installed 53 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Ae MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript, 65 stars on GitHub and 9 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
