## what it does

tl;dr: the README says it is not intended to be a useful server. It is a client test harness. get-env dumps process env — do not point this at a machine with secrets if you do not want those strings in the model.

Install

npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-everything

Also: sse and streamableHttp modes in the README. Docker: mcp/everything.
