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.

        const p = path.join(axisInstructions, file);
        const files = await fs.readdir(dir);
Touches key and credential files src/local/mcp-server.ts:672
          /(^|\/)\.npmrc$/,

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.

Connect this server

Endpoint below is the one we actually reach during checks — not the one copied from a README. Last verified 1 min ago.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add axis --transport http https://useaxis.dev/api/mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "axis": {
      "url": "https://useaxis.dev/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.axis]
url = "https://useaxis.dev/api/mcp"
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "axis": {
      "url": "https://useaxis.dev/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "axis": {
      "url": "https://useaxis.dev/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: AXIS_API_KEY (Board credential from useaxis.dev. Omit to run local-only, with no cross-machine coordination.), AXIS_API_SECRET (Secret paired with AXIS_API_KEY.), AXIS_ORG_ID (Pin the board to one organization, when you belong to several.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Axis — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is Axis working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 6 of 92 checks got a reply (6.5%), average response time 1146 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Axis as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Axis?
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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Axis need an API key?
No. Axis completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Axis?
It answers our handshake in 1146 ms on average, which is faster than 8% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Axis?
The npm package @virsanghavi/axis-server was installed 42 times in the last week. Week over week that is -21%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Axis open source?
Yes — it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 5 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.
