What the code does

We read the source, 6 h 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.

      return adapter.eval({ script });
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.

# Switch to root for patching and file operations
USER root

# Bake .env.local with MODELS config (too large for Cloud Run env vars)
In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

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.

Ruflo — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Ruflo?
Ruflo 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 npm package ruflo was installed 81 774 times last week.
How do I connect Ruflo?
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 ruflo straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Ruflo?
The npm package ruflo was installed 81 774 times in the last week. Week over week that is -29%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Ruflo open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 81 515 stars on GitHub and 298 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
