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.

    proc = subprocess.Popen(

            shell = True

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.

claude mcp add sift -- uvx sift-cli

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sift": {
      "args": [
        "sift-cli"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

[mcp_servers.sift]
command = "uvx"
args = ["sift-cli"]

  "mcpServers": {
    "sift": {

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: NVIDIA_API_KEY (A free NVIDIA NIM key. Optional: without one every tool still runs the command, still keeps every byte, and still returns the exit code -- what is lost is the model's choice of lines, not the output. Also read from ~/.config/nvidia/api_key.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
