What the code does

We read the source, 18 h ago · rules ccca72095570

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

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

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: RUSTPAD_URL (Base URL of the Rustpad instance, e.g. https://rustpad.example.net), RUSTPAD_READ_ONLY (Exactly 'true' registers only the 3 read tools), RUSTPAD_INSECURE_TLS (Exactly 'true' accepts a self-signed certificate, scoped to this connection), RUSTPAD_ALLOW_TOOLS (Comma-separated tool names or list_* prefixes to register; 'essential' selects a curated preset (default: all tools)), RUSTPAD_DENY_TOOLS (Comma-separated tool names or list_* prefixes to remove from whatever RUSTPAD_ALLOW_TOOLS left). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Rustpad MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Rustpad MCP Server?
Rustpad MCP Server 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 rustpad-mcp was installed 40 times last week.
How do I connect Rustpad MCP Server?
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 rustpad-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Rustpad MCP Server?
The npm package rustpad-mcp was installed 40 times in the last week. Week over week that is -4%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Rustpad MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript 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.
