Tool list
Not read: It could be started, but has not been tested; we call no server's tools for anything we publish. This is our limit, not the server's. So there is no tool-list size and no result from the three APIs.

Dead or stale signals
None found in the records we hold
Looked for and not found: deprecated in the registry; repository link does not open; repository archived; no push in over 365 days. Does not apply: listed version cannot be installed or is withdrawn. Each line is a dated fact from a public record. It does not say whether the server still works, and a record can change after the date shown.
Changes since the last refresh
Version 1.1.0 (published 2026-10-26) → 1.2.0 (published 2026-10-29), between the registry lists of 2026-10-29 and 2026-10-30.
The publisher’s GitHub release note for v1.2.0 (“Tachyon v1.2.0”), published 2026-10-29.
Read the release note (the publisher’s text, shown as plain text, cut at 4,000 characters)
Four additions for render machines, all read-only like before, plus clearer crash and job reports.
**A Tachyon-only stop is diagnosed from what happened before it**
- When Tachyon stops but the PC keeps running (same boot), only evidence up to the stop counts. Events logged later (an app crashing ten minutes after) go to a separate `after_events` list ("After the stop · not related") and are never evidence. After a restart, application crashes logged after the stop are set apart the same way; the restart's own reports at the next boot still count.
- No RAM, BIOS, PSU or GPU-overclock causes for a Tachyon-only stop without direct evidence (WHEA hardware errors or GPU driver errors just before): the RAM speed, the BIOS start time and the clock belong to the boot, not to this stop.
- Without a crash of Tachyon (its crash log or a Windows Application Error for tachyon.exe) the verdict is "Tachyon was closed at 21:38. Your PC kept running.", a neutral note, not shown on the main view. A real crash of Tachyon reads "Tachyon crashed at ..."; a GPU driver error just before points to the driver.
- Reports saved by an older version are revised on load with these rules (the 26 Oct 21:38 report, which blamed later CC_Engine_x64.exe crashes and EXPO/BIOS from the earlier boot, now reads "closed, nothing to do").
- New `Report::verdict()` (what happened, is the PC OK, what to do) and `severity()` (note / warning / critical).
**Layout: verdict first, details on demand**
- Crash report: one-sentence verdict, then the top cause as a card with plain words (EXPO/XMP explained) and one action; other causes folded; evidence, peaks and timeline behind one row. Times in their own column, text wrapped (no ellipsis), at most three bullets per block, numbers and units aligned in the peaks grid, colour only for meaning (neutral note, amber warning, red critical). Events after the stop shown apart. Sections give way to "in the export" lines when the screen is short (checked at 100, 125 and 150 % scaling).
- New Job report view (menu "Last marked job report", "Job report ›" on the main view and in History): verdict, the numbers in an aligned grid (GPU, power, VRAM, energy, temperature, power-cap and heat-limit time), the PCIe link in one sentence, VRAM by process with bars (three shown, the rest folded), clock-limit reasons and earlier jobs folded.
- Main view: one type scale (12.5 body, 14 values and verdicts, 9.5 labels), wrapped sentences, the limiter shows its first reason "+N" instead of a cut word, a PCIe link row (neutral when full or saving power at idle, amber when slow), process rows drop whole details that do not fit instead of cutting them. The session timer row gave way to the PCIe link.
**Status, comparisons and plain words**
- One status scale for every verdict (`status.rs`): all fine (green dot), worth a look (amber), act now (red), always with its words ("ALL FINE") next to the dot. Crash reports, job reports, the pre-render check, the bottleneck line and the PCIe link use the same mapping.
- Cause shares are percentages only when two or more causes compete (the second has 20 % or more and the top one is under 80 %); otherwise a word: certain, likely or possible. No share bar for a single cause. The voice line follows the same rule.
- The job report compares with the previous run of the same job only (same name, run counters ignored; never a different job): speed, average GPU, VRAM peak, average power and energy as deltas, or "First run, nothing to compare." Also in History and in `get_job_reports` (`vs_previous`, `compared_with`).
- Plain words: "At power limit 55%" (share of the job's time, normal under full load) instead of "power cap 169 s"; "slowed by heat"; clock-limit reasons explained in one sentence each; the PCIe link glossed ("Gen5 x16 (PCIe 5.0, 16 lanes)"). The limiter on the main view says "power limit" in plain text (normal), heat or a power brake in amber.
- The "Tachyon only reads..." note sits behind a small (i) in tSource: the official MCP Registry list on 2026-10-29 and on 2026-10-30; release notes from the GitHub Releases API, checked 2026-10-30.
What it is
How do I add it to my client?
Config from the registry entry
- No config: the MCP bundle is a file to install in a client that supports bundles, not a command.
Built from the server's registry entry with each client's documented format (checked 2026-10-14; the Cursor link and the VS Code command 2026-10-19; the MCP Inspector command 2026-10-21; Cline, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex and Zed 2026-10-26). Values in < > are yours to fill in; this page never contains a key. Where the server needs a setting the entry does not declare, it can still fail to start.
Does the registry listing match what we found?
Feature #6The registry checks an entry when it is published (each new version), and nothing re-checks it on a schedule. A difference below is about the listing, not a judgement of the publisher.
| Registry says | We found | Result | Source · date |
|---|---|---|---|

Read from public records only: the registry entry, npm/PyPI, GitHub and advisory databases, checked 2026-10-30. No tool was called. Only “met” and “not met” are counted, so the total differs between servers; a check that does not apply or that we could not run is listed, never counted against it. It is not a safety rating, and the same rules apply to every server. How each check works · Leaderboards · How we stay neutral
Common questions about io.github.formray/tachyon
Answered from the data aboveWho publishes io.github.formray/tachyon?
The registry ties the namespace io.github.formray to the GitHub account formray; only its owner can publish under it. Its linked repository, github.com/formray/tachyon, belongs to the same GitHub account. These are facts from the registry and GitHub, not a rating.
Is io.github.formray/tachyon safe to install?
We do not rate servers as safe or unsafe. 4 of its 4 applicable record checks are met (facts from public records, each listed on this page).

These are facts with their sources on this page, not a safety guarantee, and we did not run its tools.
Has io.github.formray/tachyon been security tested?
No. It could be started, but has not been tested; we call no server's tools for anything we publish. This is our limit, not the server's.
Where is the source code of io.github.formray/tachyon?
In github.com/formray/tachyon, which opens publicly.

How is it classified?
18 fields
One value per field, each with its source. Fields written by AI models are marked. A field with no value says why.
“Not stated” means the source did not state it; “does not apply” means it does not apply to this kind of server; “our limit” means our own lookup failed. A linked value opens the directory filtered to the same value.
