What the code does

We read the source, 18 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

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.

Builds a file path from a variable src/pipeline/source.ts:79, src/pipeline/transcript.ts:52, src/system/workspace.ts:24

    filePath: path.join(downloadDir, downloaded),

Runs an external command src/setup.ts:116, src/system/exec.ts:31

    const child = spawn(bin, args, { stdio: "inherit", windowsHide: true });

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.

Media Context MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Media Context MCP?

Media Context MCP 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 media-context-mcp was installed 102 times last week.

How do I connect Media Context MCP?

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 runs locally, so the command pulls media-context-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Media Context MCP?

The npm package media-context-mcp was installed 102 times in the last week. Week over week that is -31%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Media Context MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 2 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.
