Stratum MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 118 installs a week from npm. Last commit 24 Oct 2026.
Structured execution for coding agents: contracts, postconditions, gates, guardrails.

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 child = spawnSync(process.execPath, [...extraNodeFlags(), "--import", new URL("./bootstrap.mjs", import.meta.url).href, fileURLToPath(new URL("./stratum.ts", import.meta.url)), ...process.argv.slice(2)], { stdio: "inherit" });

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.
