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
postinstall: node scripts/postinstall.js
File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] bin/run.js:1
этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет
const result = require("child_process").spawnSync(binary, process.argv.slice(2), {
Builds a file path from a variable npm/alaya-mcp/bin/run.js:31, [пакет] bin/run.js:31
    return path.join(pkgDir, binary);

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 alaya-mcp -- npx -y alaya-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alaya-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "alaya-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.alaya-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "alaya-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alaya-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "alaya-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {

        "-y",
        "alaya-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: ALAYA_LLM_API_KEY (API key for auto-consolidation (enables LLM-powered knowledge extraction)), ALAYA_LLM_API_URL (OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint), ALAYA_LLM_MODEL (Model name (e.g. gpt-4o-mini, haiku, gemini-flash)), ALAYA_DB (Path to SQLite database). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Alaya MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Alaya MCP?
Alaya 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 alaya-mcp was installed 70 times last week.
How do I connect Alaya 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 alaya-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Alaya MCP?
The npm package alaya-mcp was installed 70 times in the last week. Week over week that is +65%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Alaya MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Rust, 16 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
