SafeNode MCP Gateway runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 33 installs a week from npm. Last commit 13 Aug 2026.
Policy proxy for MCP tool calls. A denied call never reaches the downstream server.

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.
# Placeholder so the demo config validates. Override with a real key to evaluate anything. ENV SAFENODE_API_KEY=sn_demo_key_not_valid_for_evaluation
Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
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.
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.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
SAFENODE_API_KEY (SafeNode API key. Free tier at https://safenode.tech — no card required.), SAFENODE_BASE_URL (Override the SafeNode API base URL. Defaults to https://safenode.tech.).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
