What the code does

We read the source, 6 d ago · rules 995398eba69f

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Reads secrets and sends them out server.ts:1948
  for (const [key, val] of Object.entries(process.env)) {
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.

Dumps the whole environment server.ts:1948
  for (const [key, val] of Object.entries(process.env)) {
Reads files and sends them to the network server.ts:1418
        const entries = await fs.readdir(TEMP_DIR).catch(() => [] as string[]);

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

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch MCP Dashboards and you get told the day something new turns up.

MCP Dashboards — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Dashboards?
MCP Dashboards 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 mcp-dashboards was installed 153 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Dashboards?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-dashboards straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Dashboards?
The npm package mcp-dashboards was installed 153 times in the last week. Week over week that is -1%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Dashboards open source?
No, and the distinction matters: its licence is declared as FSL-1.1-MIT. That makes it source-available — you can read the code, but the terms are the author's own, not one of the recognised open-source licences. Read them before you build on it.
