What the code does

We read the source, 22 h ago · rules 995398eba69f

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:76, chat/vite.config.js:18
                return JSON.parse(await readFile(path.join(base, rel), 'utf8'));
Runs an external command herald-sdk/bin/herald.mjs:159
    const child = spawn(command[0], command.slice(1), { stdio: 'inherit', shell: false });
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; }
Long encoded blob in source api/_lib/x402/ring-catalog.js:56

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.

Put your own value in place of <THREE_WS_API_KEY> (Your three.ws bearer credential: an API key (sk_live_… / sk_test_…) or OAuth access token. Every copy-trade subscription, intent, and fee is scoped to the account it identifies. Required for all tools except a leader's public aggregate earnings. Mint one at https://three.ws/dashboard/developers. Treat like cash). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: THREE_WS_BASE (Base URL of the three.ws API that serves the copy-trading endpoints. Override only when self-hosting or targeting a preview deployment), THREE_WS_TIMEOUT_MS (Per-request timeout in milliseconds for the live copy-trading reads and writes).

three.ws Copy Trading — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for three.ws Copy Trading?
three.ws Copy Trading 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/copy-mcp was installed 87 times last week.
How do I connect three.ws Copy Trading?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @three-ws/copy-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use three.ws Copy Trading?
The npm package @three-ws/copy-mcp was installed 87 times in the last week. Week over week that is +164%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is three.ws Copy Trading open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in JavaScript, 264 stars on GitHub and 6 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
