What the code does

We read the source, 17 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.

                const configPath = path.join(currentDir, this.CONFIG_FILENAME);
In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Builds a database query by concatenation .github/workflows/publish.yml:20
      - name: Update version from release tag
        env:
          TAG_NAME: ${{ github.event.release.tag_name }}

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

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CONSTELLATION_ACCESS_KEY (Your Constellation access key). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Constellation — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Constellation?
Constellation 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 @constellationdev/mcp was installed 430 times last week.
How do I connect Constellation?
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 @constellationdev/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Constellation?
The npm package @constellationdev/mcp was installed 430 times in the last week. Week over week that is +287%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Constellation open source?
Yes — it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 3 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
