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.

File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] bin/cli.js:1

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.

Sylex Search — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Sylex Search do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: add, echo, server_time. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Sylex Search working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 213 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Sylex Search as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Sylex Search?
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.
Does Sylex Search need an API key?
No. Sylex Search completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How many people use Sylex Search?
The npm package sylex-search was installed 51 times in the last week. Week over week that is +35%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Sylex Search open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in Python and 4 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp-server-production-38c9.up.railway.app, which runs on its operator's own terms.
