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 child = spawn(process.execPath, [entrypoint, ...args], {
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.

Installs itself into autostart crates/scoutd/src/main.rs:357
            launch_agent_path: home.join(format!("Library/LaunchAgents/{label}.plist")),
    return subprocess.run([scout_binary(), *args], capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=timeout)
Builds a database query by concatenation packages/runtime/src/control-plane-migrations.ts:81
    database.exec(`INSERT INTO "${temporary}" (${columns}) SELECT ${columns} FROM "${table}"`);
Page executes code built at runtime packages/web/client/index.html:64
          document.write('<script src="/api/bootstrap.js"><\/script>');
Sends data to a third-party sink packages/web/server/world-transcript.ts:39
  [/hooks\.slack\.com\/services\/[A-Za-z0-9/_-]+/g, "hooks.slack.com/services/•••"],

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.

OpenScout — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for OpenScout?
OpenScout 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 @openscout/scout was installed 1 277 times last week.
How do I connect OpenScout?
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 @openscout/scout straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use OpenScout?
The npm package @openscout/scout was installed 1 277 times in the last week. Week over week that is +11%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is OpenScout open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 11 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.
