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.

  spawn(lineIndex: number, random: () => number = Math.random): GeoParticle | null {
Dumps the whole environment vite.shared.mjs:15
    "process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": JSON.stringify(process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY ?? "")
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/release.yml:462

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.

Semiotic — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Semiotic do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: auditChart, createChart, explainChart, getChartSchema, improveChart. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Semiotic working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 258 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Semiotic?
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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Semiotic need an API key?
No. Semiotic completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Semiotic?
It answers our handshake in 258 ms on average, which is faster than 57% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Semiotic?
The npm package semiotic was installed 5 777 times in the last week. Week over week that is -56%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Semiotic open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 2 707 stars on GitHub and 35 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
