What the code does

We read the source, 21 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

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.

Runs an external command connectors/office/src/index.ts:403
    const child = spawn(process.execPath, [script], {
  if (isUnder(resolvedAbs, sshDir)) return { hit: true, reason: '~/.ssh/** is sensitive' };
Page loads a third-party script connectors/office/src/addin/taskpane.html:10
  <script src="https://appsforoffice.microsoft.com/lib/1.1/hosted/office.js"></script>
    const entries = fs.readdirSync(workspacePath, { withFileTypes: true });

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

That is not a flaw by itself — but it is where things go wrong when it is not the job. We re-read this code on every release. Watch it and you hear from us the day another one appears.

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add mcp-server-retell-ai -- npx -y @mindstone/mcp-server-retell-ai
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {

      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }

      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: RETELL_API_KEY (Retell AI API key (from retellai.com/dashboard)), MCP_WORKSPACE_PATH (Optional workspace directory for local files uploaded as knowledge-base sources. File reads are sandboxed to this directory (defaults to the system temp directory when unset).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Retell AI — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Retell AI?
Retell AI 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 @mindstone/mcp-server-retell-ai was installed 104 times last week.
How do I connect Retell AI?
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 @mindstone/mcp-server-retell-ai straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Retell AI?
The npm package @mindstone/mcp-server-retell-ai was installed 104 times in the last week. Week over week that is -11%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Retell AI open source?
We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript, 12 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
