What the code does

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 packages/mcp-coordination/src/fs/paths.ts:136
    : path.join(workspaceRoot, candidate);
Dumps the whole environment packages/mcp-shared/src/env-allowlist.ts:70
  for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(process.env)) {

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 pact -- npx -y @pact-community/mcp-pact
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pact": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@pact-community/mcp-pact"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.pact]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@pact-community/mcp-pact"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pact": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@pact-community/mcp-pact"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }

        "@pact-community/mcp-pact"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: PACT_COMMUNITY_WORKSPACE_ROOT (Workspace root directory; all file access is confined inside it.), PACT_COMMUNITY_PACT_BIN (Path to the pact binary (default: pact on PATH).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Pact Tooling — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Pact Tooling?
Pact Tooling 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 @pact-community/mcp-pact was installed 28 times last week.
How do I connect Pact Tooling?
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 @pact-community/mcp-pact straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Pact Tooling?
The npm package @pact-community/mcp-pact was installed 28 times in the last week. Week over week that is +6%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Pact Tooling open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
