What the code does

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.

Builds a file path from a variable engine.ts:316
    if (match) return readImageFile(path.join(STYLE_REF_DIR, match), `library:${match}`);

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add doodleworks-mcp -- npx -y doodleworks-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "doodleworks-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "doodleworks-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

  "mcpServers": {
    "doodleworks-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",

    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: OPENAI_API_KEY (OpenAI API key (default provider). Provide this or a Gemini key.), GEMINI_API_KEY (Gemini API key (GOOGLE_API_KEY also works). Provide this or an OpenAI key.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Doodleworks MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Doodleworks MCP?
Doodleworks MCP 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 doodleworks-mcp was installed 58 times last week.
How do I connect Doodleworks MCP?
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 doodleworks-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Doodleworks MCP?
The npm package doodleworks-mcp was installed 58 times in the last week. Week over week that is +2%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Doodleworks MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 3 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
