What the code does

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.

Secret passed into the image build Dockerfile:4

ENV PREVIEWAPK_API_KEY=""

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.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, but it did not say what kind of credentials it expects.

PreviewAPK — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for PreviewAPK?

The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 87.9% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.

Is PreviewAPK working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 80 of 91 checks got a reply (87.9%), average response time 438 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect PreviewAPK?

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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You will need your own credentials: it refuses anonymous clients.

Does PreviewAPK need an API key?

Yes. Every time we knock, PreviewAPK answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.

How fast is PreviewAPK?

It answers our handshake in 438 ms on average, which is faster than 31% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is PreviewAPK open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at previewapk.siteport.site, which runs on its operator's own terms.
