Scripthold — Secure MCP Server for Local Workspaces

Code from the web. Work locally. Recover safely.

Scripthold is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives web, desktop, and CLI agents controlled access to explicitly authorized local workspaces. It safely handles legacy text encodings, deterministic file changes, source navigation, backups, and optional durable local execution over stdio or authenticated Streamable HTTP.

AI clients see Настройки — not ???? or Íàñòðîéêè.

What Scripthold provides

Scripthold 4.x provides 36 tools and 3 guided prompts; see GitHub Releases for the latest published version. Clients upgrading from 3.x should follow the 4.0 migration guide for the unified confirmation tool. In 4.0.1, the source_symbols outline response defaults to a compact tree; pass presentation: "detailed" to retain the earlier files and symbols fields.

168 registered text encodings with content-based detection, UTF-32 LE/BE support, and conservative ambiguity handling.

100 active Source Intelligence providers for bounded declaration navigation, structural search, selected project relations, and verified context assembly.

Secure workspace boundaries with canonical-root containment, Windows reparse/junction handling, deterministic traversal, and missing-path validation.

Approval-bound mutations using preview/apply capabilities, exact fingerprints, conflict checks, staged writes, and truthful partial-state reporting.

Optional persistent backups with history, compare, audit, restore, explicit garbage collection, pinning, and exact-ID deletion.

Durable asynchronous tasks with idempotency, persistent state, bounded logs, recovery, locks, and cancellation.

Reliable long-running read-only calls through optional deferred-operation storage and bounded retained-result retrieval.

Authenticated Streamable HTTP with loopback defaults, bearer authentication, Host/Origin validation, resource limits, and explicit TLS/proxy requirements for non-loopback exposure.
