Files in src/ are run through Babel and output to lib/ as a prepublish step. The version that you download from NPM contains a lib/ directory.

That makes sense, I would have put them in /dist though
See inside /bin/parse-server:
The same with the package.json, it points to /lib/index.js.However there is no /lib folder, apparently its name is /src. So there is basically no possible way that is even able to run. How is this possible? Either someone linked /src to /lib (doesn't make sense) or they changed the name of the folder and didn't change anything else.
