What the code does

We read the source, 19 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

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.

Runs an external command packages/create-l402-app/bin/create-l402-app.js:270, packages/create-l402-app/index.js:270

    execSync(cmd, { cwd: dir, stdio: "inherit" });

Page executes code built at runtime backend/index.html:723, vscode-extension/test-preview.html:202

        out.innerHTML = html;

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

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.

L402 Kit — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for L402 Kit?

L402 Kit 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 l402-kit was installed 96 times last week.

How do I connect L402 Kit?

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 l402-kit straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use L402 Kit?

The npm package l402-kit was installed 96 times in the last week. Week over week that is -51%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is L402 Kit open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 3 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.
