MCP server · by adamVass

About

pylos-mcp is an MCP server published by adamVass. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Official MCP Registry). The last change we recorded was on 2026-10-12. As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-13.

What it asks for

  • Runs on your machine
  • Secrets: 1
  • Settings: 7

Requires: EMAIL_PASSWORD (secret), EMAIL_USER

What it declares, asks for and runs, in full

Only install plugins from developers you trust. We list what marketplaces publish and do not test plugins.

Package

npm pylos-mcp (pylos-mcp on npm)

  • npm downloads/week: 1 245 (2026-10-13)
  • npm downloads/month: 1 433 (2026-10-13)
  • Latest version on npm: 1.0.1, published 2026-10-12

No known vulnerabilities in OSV for 1.0.1 (checked 2026-10-13)

npm facts come from the public npm registry (registry.npmjs.org, api.npmjs.org). Each figure is the registry's own and is never added to another. A registry that publishes no figure shows none: no number is not zero. Vulnerability records come from OSV.dev (CC BY 4.0) and concern the declared version only; a listing that declares no version gets no answer. We do not scan code.

Found by meaning, not by shared code or a shared repository: similar plugins stay separate products, and this is not a review or a recommendation.

Is this your plugin?

Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.

Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
