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.

Runs a command on install [пакет] package.json:1
postinstall: node scripts/postinstall.js
File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] index.js:1
этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет
Runs an external command Sources/MarkViewMCPServer/main.swift:302
        let process = Process()
    const child = spawn(binary, process.argv.slice(2), {
Page executes code built at runtime Sources/MarkViewCore/Resources/template.html:300
                    contentEl.innerHTML = stripped;
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/tap-update.yml:70
      - name: Update Homebrew tap
        env:
          GH_TOKEN: ${{ steps.app-token.outputs.token }}

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.

MarkView — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MarkView?
MarkView 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 mcp-server-markview was installed 122 times last week.
How do I connect MarkView?
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 mcp-server-markview straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MarkView?
The npm package mcp-server-markview was installed 122 times in the last week. Week over week that is -51%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MarkView open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in HTML, 38 stars on GitHub and 3 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
