What the code does

We read the source, 19 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

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 file or shell call animation_signature.clip → packages/render/bin/tty.js:150, apply_animation.animation → packages/render/bin/tty.js:78
        await fs.writeFile(out, bytes);
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.

Reaches cloud metadata service api/_lib/gcp-auth.js:86

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.

Builds a file path from a variable api/sitemap/[type].js:77, chat/vite.config.js:18
                return JSON.parse(await readFile(path.join(base, rel), 'utf8'));
    const child = spawn(command[0], command.slice(1), { stdio: 'inherit', shell: false });
Executes code built at runtime packages/blender-mcp/src/py/runner.py:716
        exec(compile(job["code"], "<three-ws-blender-mcp>", "exec"), namespace)
Builds a database query by concatenation packages/motion/src/solve.js:122
    const drop = STANDING_HIP_HEIGHT * (root.height - 1) + root.rise;
            if (reset) { state.cursor = null; state.total = 0; grid.innerHTML = skeletons(); stateEl.hidden = true; }

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

A tool parameter here reaches a dangerous call

That is not a flaw by itself — but it is where things go wrong when it is not the job. We re-read this code on every release. Watch it and you hear from us the day another one appears.

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: THREE_WS_SESSION (Your three.ws session token (value of the `__Host-sid` cookie from a signed-in browser). Required for account management operations: create_payment_session, list_payment_sessions, check_payment_session, cancel_payment_session.), PAYMENT_SESSION_TOKEN (A payment session bearer token (starts with 'pss_') from create_payment_session. Used by the agent for pay_with_session calls when no inline token is passed. Treat like a spending card — it authorizes payments up to the session's budget.), THREE_WS_BASE (Base URL of the three.ws API. Override only when self-hosting or targeting a preview deployment.), THREE_WS_TIMEOUT_MS (Per-request HTTP timeout in milliseconds. x402 payments involve on-chain settlement so this should be generous (default: 30000).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

three.ws Agent Payments — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for three.ws Agent Payments?
three.ws Agent Payments 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 @three-ws/agentcore-payments-mcp was installed 43 times last week.
How do I connect three.ws Agent Payments?
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 @three-ws/agentcore-payments-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use three.ws Agent Payments?
The npm package @three-ws/agentcore-payments-mcp was installed 43 times in the last week. Week over week that is -49%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is three.ws Agent Payments open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in JavaScript, 205 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
