What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

npm package @sudosandwich/limps - the @sudosandwich scope differs from the repo owner (paulbreuler); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.paulbreuler is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

06 · Limps FAQ

What is Limps?

Is Limps still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-03-02. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Limps?

Run `npx -y @sudosandwich/limps`. The README documents one environment variable (MCP_PLANNING_CONFIG) to set first. MCP_PLANNING_CONFIG is optional or environment-specific per the README. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Limps run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
