What the code does

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 a command on install [пакет] package.json:1
postinstall: node bin/postinstall.js
File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] bin/distil-mcp.js:1, [пакет] bin/postinstall.js:1, [пакет] bin/resolve.js:1 и ещё 1
этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет
  const res = spawnSync(bin, args, { stdio: 'inherit' });
Builds a file path from a variable npm/build-mcpb.mjs:52
    copyFileSync(path.join(here, 'bin', f), path.join(stage, 'server', f));

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.

distil — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for distil?
distil 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 @munhq/distil was installed 587 times last week.
How do I connect distil?
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 @munhq/distil straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use distil?
The npm package @munhq/distil was installed 587 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is distil open source?
Yes — it is published under the NOASSERTION licence, written in Rust and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
