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 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.
install: node scripts/install.js
require('child_process').execSync(`which ${command}`, { stdio: 'ignore' });
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.
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.

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.
