What the code does

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.

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.

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

Three servers free · no card

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.

Mapsmith — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Mapsmith?
Mapsmith 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 mapsmith was installed 1 157 times last week.
How do I connect Mapsmith?
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 runs locally, so the command pulls mapsmith straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Mapsmith?
The pypi package mapsmith was installed 1 157 times in the last week. Week over week that is +99%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Mapsmith open source?
Yes — it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in Python, 2 stars on GitHub and 3 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
