What the code does

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.

Reaches cloud metadata service apps/web/lib/generation/custom-audio.ts:80
          '(e.g. 127.0.0.1, 10.x.x.x, 169.254.169.254). Use a publicly accessible audio file.',
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.

Checks whether it runs in a sandbox apps/engine/app/config/config.py:15
    dockerenv_path: str = "/.dockerenv",
        file_path = file_security.resolve_path_within_directory(base_dir, os.path.join(base_dir, name))
Builds a database query by concatenation apps/engine/app/services/fill_schedule/store.py:70
    SLOT_SELECT = "*,schedules!left(" + SLOT_IDENTITY_SELECT + ")"

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

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 Post Engineer 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.

Post Engineer — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Post Engineer?
Post Engineer 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 post-engineer-mcp was installed 2 046 times last week.
How do I connect Post Engineer?
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 post-engineer-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Post Engineer?
The npm package post-engineer-mcp was installed 2 046 times in the last week. Week over week that is +0%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Post Engineer open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 4 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
