only well-known user-level paths, never a filesystem walk for stray project .mcp.json files; an unreadable or unexpectedly-shaped config file degrades only that one source, never the whole scan); sorts each into stdio (local, spawnable) or remote (never contacted -- this play makes zero network calls of its own; it cannot confine a spawned local server that reaches the network on its own, e.g. a launcher fetching a package); starts each configured local stdio server in an isolated process group and a minimal allowlisted environment (PATH plus locale/timezone variables only, never this play's own ambient environment) solely to read its advertised schemas, then terminates that whole process group --

Credential values and current readiness remain local. Opening this page never prompts for a credential, opens an authorization browser, or calls a service this play uses.

A play is a published, versioned automation package that runs on your own machine through rote, a free command-line tool. Opening this page installs nothing and runs nothing.
