What the code does

We read the source, 5 d 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.

A tool parameter reaches a file or shell call gimp_run_python.code → src/gimp_agent_mcp/plugin/gimp-agent-bridge.py:523, gimp_run_python.code → src/gimp_agent_mcp/plugin/gimp-agent-bridge.py:616, gimp_run_python.code → src/gimp_agent_mcp/plugin/gimp-agent-bridge.py:647 и ещё 2

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.

A tool parameter here reaches a dangerous call

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.

GIMP Agent MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for GIMP Agent MCP?
GIMP Agent 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 pypi package gimp-agent-mcp was installed 263 times last week.
How do I connect GIMP Agent MCP?
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 gimp-agent-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use GIMP Agent MCP?
The pypi package gimp-agent-mcp was installed 263 times in the last week. Week over week that is -31%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is GIMP Agent MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python, 5 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.
