Local, private memory for coding agents: facts, skills and tasks that persist across sessions.
What the code does
We read the source, 15 h ago · rules 995398eba69f
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.
postinstall: node ./scripts/postinstall.js
const iconPath = path.join(dir, name);
const child = spawn(electronBin, [".", url], {
<select id="days" aria-label="Analytics time range">
<option value="7" ${currentDays === "7" ? "selected" : ""}>7 days</option>

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.
