Rather than being loaded as a Python extension module into the host DCC interpreter, it runs as its own OS process and communicates with DCC plugins via RPC, making it suitable for operators and sidecar spawners who need a separate, independently-versioned binary.\n\nThe package follows the pattern of tools like ruff and uv: a single `pip install` command places a CLI binary on PATH that can be invoked from DCC plugins to establish the gateway connection. It supports Python 3.7 through 3.14 and is distributed as platform-specific wheels for macOS (x86_64 and arm64), Linux (x86_64), and Windows (x86_64 and arm64), with no runtime Python dependencies.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building DCC plugins or operators that need to integrate with the Model Context Protocol. The package is actively maintained, has no security vulnerabilities, carries a permissive MIT license, and solves the specific problem of distributing a standalone binary gateway without coupling it to the core Python extension module. Install it when you need the sidecar spawner pattern; skip it if you are not working with DCCs or MCP."},"id":"dcc-mcp-server","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dcc-mcp-server","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dcc-mcp-server.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dcc-mcp-server/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"dcc-mcp-server","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Standalone dcc-mcp-server CLI binary \u2014 gateway, sidecar, stdio bridge (Rust)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":128233,"position":11715,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.20.6"}
