What the code does

We read the source, 1 d ago · rules 995398eba69f

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

A tool parameter reaches a file or shell call start_process.command → remote_pc_mcp/server.py:399, start_process.command → remote_pc_mcp/server.py:453
        proc = subprocess.Popen(command, shell=True, stdout=out, stderr=err, cwd=working_dir)
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.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

That is not a flaw by itself — but it is where things go wrong when it is not the job. We re-read this code on every release. Watch it and you hear from us the day another one appears.

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 remote-pc-mcp -e 'REMOTE_PC_MCP_TOKEN=<REMOTE_PC_MCP_TOKEN>' -- uvx remote-pc-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remote-pc-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "remote-pc-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "REMOTE_PC_MCP_TOKEN": "<REMOTE_PC_MCP_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.remote-pc-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["remote-pc-mcp"]
env = { REMOTE_PC_MCP_TOKEN = "<REMOTE_PC_MCP_TOKEN>" }
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remote-pc-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "remote-pc-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "REMOTE_PC_MCP_TOKEN": "<REMOTE_PC_MCP_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "remote-pc-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "remote-pc-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "REMOTE_PC_MCP_TOKEN": "<REMOTE_PC_MCP_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Put your own value in place of <REMOTE_PC_MCP_TOKEN> (Bearer token clients must present. Treat as a root-equivalent credential on the host). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: REMOTE_PC_MCP_HOST (Interface to bind (default 0.0.0.0)), REMOTE_PC_MCP_PORT (Port to listen on (default 8765)).

Remote Pc MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Remote Pc MCP?
Remote Pc MCP 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 remote-pc-mcp was installed 149 times last week.
How do I connect Remote Pc MCP?
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 remote-pc-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Remote Pc MCP?
The pypi package remote-pc-mcp was installed 149 times in the last week. Week over week that is -91%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Remote Pc MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 7 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.
