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
setup.py: выполняет код при установке пакета
File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] src/wet/sources/rerank.py:1
этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет
        return subprocess.Popen(  # nosec B603 - fixed argv, no shell
    env = dict(os.environ)
In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Builds a database query by concatenation .github/workflows/canary-alert.yml:42
      - name: File or update the canary failure issue
        env:
          GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add wet -- uvx wet-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wet": {
      "args": [
        "wet-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.wet]
command = "uvx"
args = ["wet-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wet": {
      "args": [
        "wet-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wet": {
      "args": [
        "wet-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: API_KEYS (Provider API keys (format: PROVIDER_API_KEY:key,...). Select models per task with EMBEDDING_MODELS / RERANK_MODELS / LLM_MODELS (CSV provider/model, order = litellm fallback); provider is inferred from the model prefix. Empty embedding/rerank chain falls back to fastretrieval's built-in local reference model.), GITHUB_TOKEN (GitHub personal access token for higher rate limits on library discovery). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Wet — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Wet?
Wet 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 wet-mcp was installed 4 250 times last week.
How do I connect Wet?
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 wet-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Wet?
The pypi package wet-mcp was installed 4 250 times in the last week. Week over week that is -38%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Wet open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python, 19 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.
