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.

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.

}This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
BUDGETARY_API_KEY (Budgetary API key (bg_live_ or bg_test_ prefix). Get one at https://budgetary.tools.), BUDGETARY_HOST (Optional tag naming the MCP host this server runs under — e.g. claude-code, cursor, codex, copilot. It labels each estimate with where it came from, and an explicit value overrides the host name the MCP handshake reports. Free-form; defaults to "mcp" when unset.).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
