pkgx MCP

A Model Context Protocol server that can run any Open Source tool via pkgx.

Usage

1. Install pkgx

2. Clone this repo

3. Then in your Claude Desktop configuration file:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "pkgx": {
         "command": "/path/to/pkgx-mcp/main.ts",
         "args": []
       }
     }
   }

We will make npx pkgx-mcp work at some point.

Security

Security? Hah.

But seriously, this is a dangerous tool. You are letting AI read any file on your computer. We have the decency to run pkgx in a sandbox so at least a rogue AI can’t run rm -rf /. But we have not restricted reads because that seemed too limiting.

We need the MCP protocol to advance to allow the user to be prompted with UI to approve certain things that the AI cannot by itself do or something like that.

In the meantime USE WITH ABSURD AMOUNTS OF CAUTION.

Important

The AI cannot write to your file system.

On macOS anyway. On Linux we need you to PR that for us.
