MCP server for managing Podkop and Forkop on OpenWrt over SSH
What the code does
We read the source, 5 d ago · rules 995398eba69f
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.
env = dict(os.environ if environ is None else environ)
config_path = Path(os.path.expanduser("~/.ssh/config"))
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.
