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 dsh/index.js:109
    execFile(opts.cli, opts.args, { timeout: opts.budgetMs + 1000, windowsHide: true }, (err, stdout) => {
            proc = subprocess.run(list(argv), capture_output=True, timeout=run_timeout, shell=False)  # noqa: S603
        path = os.path.join(folder, name)

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.

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 stack-guardian -- uvx stack-guardian
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stack-guardian": {
      "args": [
        "stack-guardian"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.stack-guardian]
command = "uvx"
args = ["stack-guardian"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stack-guardian": {
      "args": [
        "stack-guardian"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stack-guardian": {
      "args": [
        "stack-guardian"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: STACK_GUARDIAN_NODES (Path to your nodes JSON file (see examples/nodes.json)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Stack Guardian — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Stack Guardian?
Stack Guardian 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 stack-guardian was installed 918 times last week.
How do I connect Stack Guardian?
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 stack-guardian straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Stack Guardian?
The pypi package stack-guardian was installed 918 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Stack Guardian open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python 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.
