What the code does

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.

    const child = spawn(process.execPath, [cli, ...args], {

for (const [k, v] of Object.entries(process.env)) if (/^\$\{user_config\.[^}]*\}$/.test(v || '')) delete process.env[k];
