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.
result = subprocess.run(
- name: Create or update the GitHub Release
env:
GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
USER root # sops and age come from Wolfi's apk repo, signed by Chainguard. Pinned # transitively by the digest of the build base image.
env = dict(os.environ)
Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
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.
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.
claude mcp add sops-mcp -- uvx sops-mcp
{
"mcpServers": {
"sops-mcp": {
"args": [
"sops-mcp"
],
"command": "uvx"
}
}
}
[mcp_servers.sops-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["sops-mcp"]
{
"mcpServers": {
"sops-mcp": {
"args": [
"sops-mcp"
],
"command": "uvx"
}
}
}
{
"mcpServers": {
"sops-mcp": {
"args": [
"sops-mcp"
],
"command": "uvx"
}
}
}
This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
SOPS_MCP_AGE_PUBLIC_KEY (Age recipient public key. Required at startup.), SOPS_AGE_KEY (Age private key. Required at call time for any mutation tool (decrypt + re-encrypt). Read-only tools do not need it.).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
