What the code does

We read the source, 20 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/install.js

File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] bin/lain.js:1

этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет

Runs an external command npm-shim/bin/lain.js:7, [пакет] bin/lain.js:7

  const child = spawn(binary, process.argv.slice(2), { cwd: process.cwd(), stdio: 'inherit' });

Page loads a third-party script src/ui/blast-radius.html:7

    <script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v7.min.js"></script>

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.

Lain — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Lain?

Lain 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 @spuentesp/lain-mcp was installed 192 times last week.

How do I connect Lain?

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 @spuentesp/lain-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Lain?

The npm package @spuentesp/lain-mcp was installed 192 times in the last week. Week over week that is +306%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Lain open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Rust and 6 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.
