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.

File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] sdk/cli.js:1, [пакет] mcp/index.js:1, [пакет] sdk/index.js:1 и ещё 1

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.

ScrubGuard — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for ScrubGuard?
ScrubGuard 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 scrubguard-mcp was installed 414 times last week.
Is ScrubGuard still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect ScrubGuard?
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 scrubguard-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use ScrubGuard?
The npm package scrubguard-mcp was installed 414 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
