All limitations / Review context

Which MCP client or server capabilities does the current NitroStack release provide?

The bounded assessment reviewed the official README, repository notices, security policy path, and security page for known material public-tracking blockers. No such blocker was identified. This is a public-tracking assessment, not an installation safety certification.

Setup · Watchlist

Framework setup

Publisher instructions.

Source evidence observed Oct 14, 2026.

Additional setup details required — see the specific gaps below.

Install / connect
Publisher instructions
**Framework, not ready-made server.** Publisher `npm i -g @nitrostack/cli`, scaffold via `npx @nitrostack/cli init my-server`, then run generated project following official getting-started instructions.
package install · Publisher instructions
npx @nitrostack/cli init my-server
self hosted install or run · Publisher instructions
npm install npm run dev
Configure / authenticate
Publisher instructions
NitroStack is MCP SDK/framework: `npx @nitrostack/cli init my-server` scaffolds a new project; auth implementation depends on the user application.
Check connection
Suggested check
Check generated local project build/help only; no universal remotely hosted MCP endpoint.
Remove / uninstall / revoke
MCP100 setup guide
Only if globally installed; remove generated application MCP URL from client, then stop app runtime. Do not delete authored project just to uninstall framework.
Distinguish client registration removal from software uninstall, persistent data deletion and provider OAuth/API-key revocation.
npm uninstall -g @nitrostack/cli
