Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: API_URL (Base URL of the backing API), NETWORK (CAIP-2 network id for payments. eip155:8453 is Base mainnet), X402_PRIVATE_KEY (Optional. Leave unset to use the free tools. Setting it to the private key of a wallet funded with USDC on NETWORK additionally unlocks package_health and package_batch_health, paid per call. Use a dedicated low-balance wallet: this is a hot key that spends automatically), X402_TX_HASH (Optional. Set to "true" to expose the paid tools without a wallet, paying instead by passing the tx_hash of a USDC transfer you settled yourself. For agents that manage their own on-chain payments).

Package Intel — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Package Intel?
Package Intel 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 package-intel-mcp was installed 24 times last week.
How do I connect Package Intel?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls package-intel-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Package Intel?
The npm package package-intel-mcp was installed 24 times in the last week. Week over week that is +10%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Package Intel 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.
