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.

Deletes files or strips permissions packages/mcp/src/lib.ts:314
        ? ` To accept an intended removal, delete the baseline directory in the same change${dir ? ` (git rm -r ${shellArg(dir)})` : ''}; otherwise restore the test, or what it needs to reach its capture.`
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.

Checks whether it runs in a sandbox packages/witness/src/capture/environment.ts:197
  if (safely(() => exists('/.dockerenv') || exists('/run/.containerenv'), false)) host.container = true;
Package points at a different repository mcbuddy/testivai-oss
пакет @testivai/mcp ссылается на testivai/testivai-oss
  const stdout = execSync(command, { encoding: 'utf-8', stdio: ['ignore', 'pipe', 'inherit'] });

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch TestivAI and you get told the day something new turns up.

TestivAI — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for TestivAI?
TestivAI 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 @testivai/mcp was installed 438 times last week.
How do I connect TestivAI?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @testivai/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use TestivAI?
The npm package @testivai/mcp was installed 438 times in the last week. Week over week that is +115%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is TestivAI open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 7 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.
