What it can access
- An MCP server is a program your AI app starts and talks to. A local one runs with your user's permissions: it can see the files, environment variables and network your account can.
- Based on its description and topics, it likely needs to use a code-hosting token (GitHub/GitLab).
Before you install
- Use a fine-grained token limited to the repos it needs.
- Pin the version you reviewed instead of always installing the latest release.
- Read the tool list or scripts before the first run, and keep approval prompts on for actions that write, send or delete.
- Maintained by Robotti-io on GitHub, 43 stars and 14 forks. Popularity is not proof of safety.
- Last code change: May 17, 2026.
