What the code does

We read the source, 17 h ago · rules 995398eba69f

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

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.

File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] src/topicforge/adapters/common/qos_endpoints.py:1, [пакет] src/topicforge/services/bag_stats.py:1, [пакет] src/topicforge/services/summaries/__init__.py:1 и ещё 6

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

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch TopicForge and you get told the day something new turns up.

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 topicforge -- uvx topicforge
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "topicforge": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "topicforge"
      ]
    }
  }

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: TOPICFORGE_MODE (mock (deterministic fixtures, no ROS2 needed), live, or auto. Defaults to auto), TOPICFORGE_DDS_BACKEND (DDS backend: mock, cyclone, fast, or auto. cyclonedds is a core dependency on platforms with wheels (Linux x86_64, Windows x64, macOS; Python 3.10-3.13); the [dds] extra remains an alias), TOPICFORGE_DDS_DOMAIN_ID (DDS domain id to observe, 0-232. Joined at startup; changing it requires a restart), TOPICFORGE_TELEMETRY (Opt-in anonymous telemetry, off by default. When off, no network code path executes).

TopicForge — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for TopicForge?
TopicForge 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 pypi package topicforge was installed 730 times last week.
How do I connect TopicForge?
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 topicforge straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use TopicForge?
The pypi package topicforge was installed 730 times in the last week. Week over week that is -8%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is TopicForge open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 3 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.
