What the code does

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

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.

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.

        const proc = spawn(ffmpegPath(), ['-hide_banner', '-loglevel', 'error', '-i', 'pipe:0', ...args, 'pipe:1']);

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.

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 tutor session endpoint. Override only when self-hosting or targeting a preview deployment), THREE_WS_TIMEOUT_MS (Per-request timeout in milliseconds for the tutor session reads and the close call).

three.ws Tutor — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for three.ws Tutor?
three.ws Tutor 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/tutor-mcp was installed 73 times last week.
How do I connect three.ws Tutor?
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/tutor-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use three.ws Tutor?
The npm package @three-ws/tutor-mcp was installed 73 times in the last week. Week over week that is +192%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is three.ws Tutor 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.
