OSCAR MCP Server

by trafalmejo Your server? Claim it
local only

OSCAR runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 55 installs a week from npm. Last commit 14 Oct 2026.

An assistant reads your OSCAR installation (OSC, MIDI, DMX) and drafts interfaces you review.

What the code does

We read the source, 4 d ago · rules 995398eba69f

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

A tool parameter reaches a file or shell call validate_draft.html → lib/mcp/tools.js:375
        fs.writeFileSync(file, html, "utf8");
In the project's build, not in the package

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.

Builds a file path from a variable lib/export/index.js:35
      .map((ref) => path.join(publicDir, ref)),
Builds a database query by concatenation public/templates/dmx-console-12-channels.html:749
  var select = function (n) { return byId("dgc-select-" + n); };

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

OSCAR — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for OSCAR?
OSCAR 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 createwithoscar was installed 55 times last week.
How do I connect OSCAR?
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 createwithoscar straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use OSCAR?
The npm package createwithoscar was installed 55 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is OSCAR open source?
Yes — it is published under the BSD-3-Clause licence, written in JavaScript, 192 stars on GitHub and 6 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
