What's Allowed MCP Server

local only

Merged agent permission rules: which settings file wins, and which rules your client ignores.

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

What's Allowed — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for What's Allowed?
What's Allowed 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 whats-allowed-mcp was installed 33 times last week.
How do I connect What's Allowed?
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 whats-allowed-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use What's Allowed?
The npm package whats-allowed-mcp was installed 33 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is What's Allowed open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 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.
