What the code does

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

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.

    execSync(process.platform === 'win32' ? `where ${name}` : `command -v ${name}`, { stdio: 'ignore', shell: true })
  const srcPath = path.join(TEMPLATES_DIR, src)
        result = subprocess.run(

Symbols MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Symbols MCP?
Symbols MCP 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 pypi package symbols-mcp was installed 660 times last week.
How do I connect Symbols MCP?
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 symbols-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Symbols MCP?
The pypi package symbols-mcp was installed 660 times in the last week. Week over week that is -61%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Symbols MCP open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python, 1 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
