Tower runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 99 installs a week from npm. Last commit 1 Oct 2026.
Multiplayer for AI coding agents: collision detection before the edit, messaging, delegation.
What the code does

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.
return execSync(cmd, { cwd, stdio: ["ignore", "pipe", "ignore"] })

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.
