MCP servers are packaged differently from each other -- some run via npx, some as a Docker image, some as a plain script you clone and run. pfsense-mcp-server’s own README did not state one plainly enough for this page to quote it rather than guess, so it will not guess. The repository below states it.

Unverified means a mention in the server’s own description, not a citation. A wrong claim here costs nothing to correct and nothing to trust yet.
