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.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
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.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
OPENAI_BASE_URL (Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Default: OpenAI cloud. Use http://localhost:11434/v1 for Ollama.), OPENAI_API_KEY (API key for the endpoint above. Use 'ollama' as a sentinel value when running locally against Ollama.), MODEL_SYNTHESIZER (Model identifier used for the synthesize node. Defaults to 'gpt-5-mini'; set to 'gemma3:4b' for Mac-local Ollama.), MODEL_PLANNER (Model for the plan / classify / critic / compress / verify nodes. Defaults to 'gpt-5-nano'.), EMBED_MODEL (Embedding model identifier (for retrieval + memory). Default 'text-embedding-3-small'; use 'nomic-embed-text' on Ollama.), SEARXNG_URL (Base URL of the SearXNG meta-search instance. Default http://localhost:8888.), LOCAL_CORPUS_PATH (Path to an index directory built via scripts/index_corpus.py. When set, local corpus hits augment web search.), ENABLE_RERANK (Set to '1' to enable the BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3 cross-encoder rerank stage. First run downloads ~560MB.), ENABLE_FETCH (Set to '0' to skip the trafilatura full-page fetch stage. Default '1'.).
