What the code does

We read the source, 5 d ago · rules 995398eba69f

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

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.

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch MQ-Sentinel and you get told the day something new turns up.

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 mq-sentinel -- uvx mq-sentinel

MQ-Sentinel — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MQ-Sentinel?
MQ-Sentinel 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 pypi package mq-sentinel was installed 150 times last week.
How do I connect MQ-Sentinel?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mq-sentinel straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MQ-Sentinel?
The pypi package mq-sentinel was installed 150 times in the last week. Week over week that is -23%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MQ-Sentinel open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
