Nofax — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Nofax?

Nofax 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 nofax was installed 99 times last week.

How do I connect Nofax?

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 nofax straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Nofax?

The npm package nofax was installed 99 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Nofax open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript 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.
