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.

Builds a file path from a variable src/disk-cache.ts:68, src/git-blob.ts:147, src/init-flow.ts:117 и ещё 3

      const namespaceDir = path.join(this.cacheDir, namespace);

Runs an external command src/package-managers.ts:85

    const child = spawn(plan.file, plan.args, {

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.

Safeinstall — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Safeinstall?

Safeinstall 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 safeinstall-cli was installed 87 times last week.

How do I connect Safeinstall?

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 safeinstall-cli straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Safeinstall?

The npm package safeinstall-cli was installed 87 times in the last week. Week over week that is -76%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Safeinstall open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 3 stars on GitHub and 4 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
