What the code does

We read the source, 7 d 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 fc_set_language.language → src/index.ts:4300, fc_set_language.language → src/index.ts:4241, fc_set_language.language → src/index.ts:4426 и ещё 1

      await fs.writeFile(params.output_path, text, 'utf-8');

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

BACH FileCommander — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for BACH FileCommander?

BACH FileCommander 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 bach-filecommander-mcp was installed 40 times last week.

How do I connect BACH FileCommander?

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 bach-filecommander-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use BACH FileCommander?

The npm package bach-filecommander-mcp was installed 40 times in the last week. Week over week that is -14%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is BACH FileCommander open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 4 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.
