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.

        completed = subprocess.run(  # noqa: S603 - our own verified binary

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.

Montycat MCP - Shared Memory for AI Agents — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Montycat MCP - Shared Memory for AI Agents?
Montycat MCP - Shared Memory for AI Agents 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 pypi package montycat-mcp was installed 188 times last week.
How do I connect Montycat MCP - Shared Memory for AI Agents?
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 runs locally, so the command pulls montycat-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Montycat MCP - Shared Memory for AI Agents?
The pypi package montycat-mcp was installed 188 times in the last week. Week over week that is -43%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Montycat MCP - Shared Memory for AI Agents open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 24 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
