Maven Decoder MCP Server

local only

Maven Decoder runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 128 installs a week from npm. Last commit 16 Sep 2026.

Lets AI agents read the real source of any Maven dependency, decompiled from ~/.m2 or Central.

What the code does

We read the source, 19 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

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.

Runs a command on install [пакет] package.json:1
install: node scripts/install.js
        require('child_process').execSync(`which ${command}`, { stdio: 'ignore' });
Runs an external command maven_decoder_mcp/decompiler.py:71
                result = subprocess.run(['java', '-jar', cfr_path, '--help'],

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

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.

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.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: MAVEN_REPOSITORY (Path to the local Maven repository. Defaults to ~/.m2/repository.), MAVEN_REMOTE_REPOS (Comma or whitespace separated list of remote Maven repository base URLs.), MAVEN_REMOTE_USERNAME (Username for authenticating against private remote Maven repositories.), MAVEN_REMOTE_PASSWORD (Password or token for authenticating against private remote Maven repositories.), MAVEN_OFFLINE (Set to true to disable all network access and use only the local repository.), MAVEN_AUTO_DOWNLOAD (Whether to automatically download missing artifacts from remote repositories. Defaults to true.), MAVEN_DECODER_CACHE_DIR (Override directory used for decompilation and metadata caches.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Maven Decoder — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Maven Decoder?
Maven Decoder 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 maven-decoder-mcp was installed 128 times last week.
How do I connect Maven Decoder?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls maven-decoder-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Maven Decoder?
The npm package maven-decoder-mcp was installed 128 times in the last week. Week over week that is +2760%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Maven Decoder open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 20 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
