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.

Runs a command on install [пакет] package.json:1

postinstall: node scripts/postinstall.js

File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] bin/zenith.js:1

этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет

Runs an external command npm/zenith-mcp/bin/zenith.js:17, [пакет] bin/zenith.js:17

const result = spawnSync(binPath, args, { stdio: "inherit" });

Builds a file path from a variable npm/zenith-mcp/bin/zenith.js:9, [пакет] bin/zenith.js:9

const binPath = path.join(root, "vendor", exe);

Builds a database query by concatenation zenith-raster/src/blend/separable.rs:20

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.

Zenith — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Zenith?

Zenith 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 @zenitheditor/zenith-mcp was installed 57 times last week.

How do I connect Zenith?

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 @zenitheditor/zenith-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Zenith?

The npm package @zenitheditor/zenith-mcp was installed 57 times in the last week. Week over week that is +106%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Zenith open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Rust and 22 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.
