What the code does

We read the source, 7 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

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.

Deletes files or strips permissions src/tools/workspace_janitor.ts:40
            command: "rm -rf " + data.tempDirs.join(" "),
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.

            return execSync(cmd, { stdio: ["pipe", "pipe", "ignore"] }).toString().trim();
        const p = path.join(cwd, name);

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 Heimdall and you get told the day something new turns up.

Connect this server

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add heimdall -- npx -y @lchampz/mcp-heimdall
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "heimdall": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@lchampz/mcp-heimdall"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.heimdall]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@lchampz/mcp-heimdall"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "heimdall": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@lchampz/mcp-heimdall"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "heimdall": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@lchampz/mcp-heimdall"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: DEBUG (Enable debug logging (true/false)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Heimdall — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Heimdall?
Heimdall 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 @lchampz/mcp-heimdall was installed 34 times last week.
How do I connect Heimdall?
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 @lchampz/mcp-heimdall straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Heimdall?
The npm package @lchampz/mcp-heimdall was installed 34 times in the last week. Week over week that is +92%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Heimdall open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript 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.
