What the code does

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.

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

    name: Update documentation for ${{ inputs.target_branch }}
    runs-on: ${{ vars.DEFAULT_RUNNER_KEY }}
        options: --privileged

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.

Metabase — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is Metabase working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 90 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 0 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Metabase 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 Metabase?
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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Metabase need an API key?
No. Metabase completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is Metabase open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Clojure, 49 367 stars on GitHub and 3797 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
