Do I need to install anything to use Unraid RMCP?

Yes. Unraid RMCP runs as a local process, so the package has to be installed on the machine where the client runs.

How do I install Unraid RMCP?

Install the npm package @dinglebear/unraid and run it with npx -y @dinglebear/unraid.

Does Unraid RMCP need an API key?

Yes. It reads 6 environment variables from the environment, so you need to supply UNRAID_API_URL, UNRAID_API_KEY, UNRAID_RMCP_VERSION, UNRAID_RMCP_REPO, UNRAID_RMCP_RELEASE_BASE_URL, RUST_LOG before the server will start.

What is UNRAID_API_URL used for in Unraid RMCP?

Full Unraid GraphQL endpoint URL.

Which transport does Unraid RMCP use?

Stdio. Your client has to support that transport to connect.

Where is the source code for Unraid RMCP?

The publisher lists https://github.com/dinglebear-ai/unraid as the source repository.

Is Unraid RMCP an official server?

It is published under the namespace ai.dinglebear, which means the publisher proved control of that domain when registering. That confirms who published it, not that it has been reviewed for quality or security.

Which version of Unraid RMCP is listed here?

Version 0.3.0, taken from the latest registry entry.

Tools

The publisher has not disclosed a tool manifest. The tool list can only be seen by connecting to the server, which this catalogue does not do on the publisher's behalf.

Command line alternative

None found. The published package declares no executable and no matching Homebrew formula exists, so the MCP server appears to be the only route. This is a negative result from automated checks, not a statement from the publisher.
