Unraid MCP Server

What the code does

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_DOCKER = Path("/.dockerenv").exists()

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

      const child = spawn(

    exec($command . ' 2>&1', $out, $code);

Put your own values in place of <UNRAID_API_URL> (Base URL of your Unraid server, e.g. http://192.168.1.100), <UNRAID_API_KEY> (Unraid API key for authentication). The author’s registry entry marks them as required.
