Show HN: RunJS – a C# MCP server to let LLMs generate and run JavaScript safely

RunJS is an MCP server written in C# that let's an LLM generate and execute JavaScript "safely". It uses the excellent Jint library (https://github.com/sebastienros/jint) which is a .NET JavaScript interpreter that provides a sandboxed runtime for arbitrary JavaScript. Using Jint also allows for extensibility by allowing JS modules to be loaded as well as providing interop with .NET object instances.

There's a good use case for a system like this, allowing scripting to be used on platforms without Reflection.Emit (like iOS). But I'm not seeing anything differentiating about this particular project. Is there a reason to use this over Jint[1] or Script#[2]? (I personally use my own gizmo called Exor[3], which does runtime compiling on desktop platforms and allows me to embed script assets at compile-time for platforms without Reflection.Emit. YM, of course, MV.) [1] - https://github.com/sebastienros/jint [2] - https://github.com/nikhilk/scriptsharp [3] - https://github.com/eropple/Exor
