Palinode MCP Server

What the code does

We read the source, 21 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

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.

            proc = subprocess.run(  # nosec B603,B607 - argv form, no shell

        raw = glob.glob(os.path.join(memory_dir, include), recursive=True)

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: PALINODE_DIR (Path to the markdown-memory directory), PALINODE_MCP_HTTP_HOST (Bind host for the MCP HTTP server. Defaults to loopback; set to 0.0.0.0 only with intentional network exposure (paired with PALINODE_API_BIND_INTENT=public on the back-end).), PALINODE_MCP_HTTP_PORT (Port for the MCP HTTP server), PALINODE_API_HOST (Host where the back-end palinode-api is reachable), PALINODE_API_PORT (Port for palinode-api), PALINODE_API_TOKEN (Bearer token enforced by palinode-api. Required when binding non-loopback. Generate with: python -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))'.), PALINODE_API_TOKEN_FILE (Path to a file containing the bearer token (alternative to PALINODE_API_TOKEN)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
