This one needs environment variables set before it will start: GRIDSCOOT_API_KEY (Bearer token from https://gridscoot.vercel.app/account/keys. Omit to run in anonymous demo mode (30 requests/day per IP, read tools only).), GRIDSCOOT_MCP_DRY_RUN (Set to "true" or "1" to make the write tool (track_price) return a {dryRun:true, would_call:...} envelope instead of executing. Read tools are unaffected.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Gridscoot — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is Gridscoot working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 437 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is Gridscoot still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

The registry lists Gridscoot as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Gridscoot?

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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Gridscoot need an API key?

No. Gridscoot completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How many people use Gridscoot?

The npm package @gridscoot/mcp was installed 27 times in the last week. Week over week that is +100%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
