Nothing serious here today

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

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.

Claude Code Claude Desktop Codex Cursor VS Code

run in your terminal

claude mcp add mcp -- npx -y @agent-idx/client

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@agent-idx/client"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

~/.codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@agent-idx/client"]

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@agent-idx/client"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@agent-idx/client"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: AGENT_INDEX_DIRECTORY_URL (URL of the network Active Nodes directory (routing/relay multiaddrs)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Agent Index — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Agent Index?

Agent Index 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 @agent-idx/client was installed 37 times last week.

How do I connect Agent Index?

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 @agent-idx/client straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Agent Index?

The npm package @agent-idx/client was installed 37 times in the last week. Week over week that is +40%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Agent Index open source?

We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
