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.

Runs an external command integrations/coral/toolkit.py:100, integrations/github-action/pr_impact.py:86, src/lynx/manager/init.py:162 и ещё 5

        proc = subprocess.run(

Executes code built at runtime src/lynx/manager/install.py:163, [пакет] src/lynx/manager/install.py:163, src/lynx/manager/ui/app.py:193 и ещё 3

        __import__(package)

Builds a database query by concatenation src/lynx/manager/ui/templates/source_detail.html:53, [пакет] src/lynx/manager/ui/templates/source_detail.html:53

          <dd class="text-xs">{{ source.last_update }}</dd>
        </div>
      {% endif %}

Unsafe deserialization src/lynx/integrity.py:787, [пакет] src/lynx/integrity.py:787

                    data = pickle.load(fh)

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.

Lynx — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Lynx?

Lynx 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 pypi package lynx-mcp was installed 909 times last week.

How do I connect Lynx?

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 lynx-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Lynx?

The pypi package lynx-mcp was installed 909 times in the last week. Week over week that is +199%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Lynx open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python and 9 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.
