Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Gagelink every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: GAGELINK_API_KEY (USGS Water Data API key, free from https://api.waterdata.usgs.gov/signup. Optional: without one the service allows 50 requests per hour rather than 1000).

Gagelink — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Gagelink?
Gagelink 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 pypi package gagelink was installed 140 times last week.
How do I connect Gagelink?
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 gagelink straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Gagelink?
The pypi package gagelink was installed 140 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 Gagelink open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python 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.
