What the code does

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.

    ? { filename: "index.html", html: readFileSync(path, "utf8") }

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.

    const child = spawn(cmd, args, { stdio: "ignore", detached: true });

Connect this server

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.

claude mcp add thing -- npx -y @unravel-tech/thing

  "mcpServers": {
    "thing": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@unravel-tech/thing"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: THING_TOKEN (API token from usething.ai, under Settings then Tokens. Lets the server publish on your behalf with no terminal login.), THING_SERVER (Base URL of the thing server. Defaults to https://usething.ai; only set this for a self-hosted instance.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
