What the code does

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.

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call get_recent_server_events.since_minutes → src/agent_runtime.py:206, compose_project_action.services → src/compose.py:45, check_service_status.service_name → src/monitor.py:340 и ещё 3
            result = subprocess.run([journal, "--no-pager", "-o", "short-iso", "--since", f"{since_minutes} minutes ago", "-n", str(journal_lines)], capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=12, check=False)
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.

            result = subprocess.run([journal, "--no-pager", "-o", "short-iso", "--since", f"{since_minutes} minutes ago", "-n", str(journal_lines)], capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=12, check=False)

VPS Guardian — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for VPS Guardian?
VPS Guardian 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 @murzirius/vps-guardian-mcp was installed 248 times last week.
How do I connect VPS Guardian?
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 @murzirius/vps-guardian-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use VPS Guardian?
The npm package @murzirius/vps-guardian-mcp was installed 248 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 VPS Guardian open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 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.
