What the code does

We read the source, 2 d ago · rules 995398eba69f

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.

Reads files and sends them to the network packages/client/src/transferPipeline.ts:40
  const dirents = await readdir(dirPath, { recursive: true, withFileTypes: true })

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

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Yafl every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being 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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add mcp -- npx -y @yafldev/mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@yafldev/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: YAFL_API_KEY (API key for authenticated transfers. Optional — omit and run `yafl login` (device flow) instead).

Yafl — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Yafl?
Yafl 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 @yafldev/mcp was installed 59 times last week.
How do I connect Yafl?
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 @yafldev/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Yafl?
The npm package @yafldev/mcp was installed 59 times in the last week. Week over week that is +4%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Yafl open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 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.
