This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CRUX_API_KEY (Google Cloud API key with the Chrome UX Report API enabled (sent as the key= query parameter). Treat it as a secret.), CRUX_API_BASE (API root host override.), CRUX_TIMEOUT_MS (Per-request timeout in milliseconds.), CRUX_MAX_RETRIES (Retries on transient errors (429, 5xx, network).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Google CrUX MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Google CrUX MCP?
Google CrUX MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package mcp-google-crux was installed 39 times last week.
How do I connect Google CrUX MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-google-crux straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Google CrUX MCP?
The npm package mcp-google-crux was installed 39 times in the last week. Week over week that is -2%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Google CrUX MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
