Crg MCP Server

What the code does

We read the source, 15 h ago · rules ccca72095570

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.

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.

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.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: EMBEDDING_MODELS (Embedding models in selection order; the current runtime uses the first provider/model entry; empty = local ONNX), LOCAL_EMBEDDING_MODEL (Built-in fastretrieval model ID or local directory with fastretrieval-manifest.json), LOCAL_RERANK_MODEL (Fastretrieval TextCrossEncoder model ID; empty = reranking disabled), LOCAL_EMBEDDING_DIM (Required positive output dimension for an external local embedding ID without a manifest), LOCAL_EMBEDDING_MODEL_FILE (ONNX file path inside a manifest-backed local embedding directory), LOCAL_EMBEDDING_POOLING (Explicit pooling for an external local embedding ID without a manifest), LOCAL_EMBEDDING_NORMALIZE (Explicit L2 normalization for an external local embedding ID without a manifest), HULL_EMBED_API_KEY (API key for the [models.embed] cell transport (OpenRouter pre-wired default); host-injected, overrides the cell api_key), HULL_CHAT_API_KEY (API key for the [models.chat] cell transport (OpenRouter pre-wired default); host-injected, enables LLM summaries when the cell model is set), EMBEDDING_BACKEND (DEPRECATED (honored one release): embedding backend override 'local' or 'cloud'. Use EMBEDDING_MODELS instead.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Crg — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Crg?
Crg 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 better-code-review-graph was installed 2 447 times last week.
How do I connect Crg?
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 better-code-review-graph straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Crg?
The pypi package better-code-review-graph was installed 2 447 times in the last week. Week over week that is -67%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Crg open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python, 76 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
