What the code does

We read the source, 2 d ago · rules ccca72095570

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.

      child = execFile(cmd, args, { timeout: 5000, windowsHide: true }, (err) => resolve(!err));

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.

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
claude mcp add relay-remotify-mcp -- npx -y remotify-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "relay-remotify-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "remotify-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }

      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: REMOTIFY_URL (Relay to talk to. Override to point at a self-hosted instance.), REMOTIFY_KEY (Reuse an existing session key instead of creating a new one on startup.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Relay Remotify MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Relay Remotify MCP?
Relay Remotify MCP 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 remotify-mcp was installed 1 325 times last week.
How do I connect Relay Remotify MCP?
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 remotify-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Relay Remotify MCP?
The npm package remotify-mcp was installed 1 325 times in the last week. Week over week that is -7%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Relay Remotify MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in PHP and 3 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.
