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.

run in your terminal

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: OPENSOLAR_API_TOKEN (OpenSolar bearer token), OPENSOLAR_ORG_ID (OpenSolar organisation ID), OPENSOLAR_PROFILE (Tool profile: agent (curated default) or full (every registered tool)), OPENSOLAR_READ_ONLY (Hide every tool that can change OpenSolar data), OPENSOLAR_PLAN (OpenSolar access plan; api_access hides tools that need Raw Data API Access), OPENSOLAR_TOOLSETS (Comma-separated toolsets that replace the profile's tool selection), OPENSOLAR_UPLOAD_ROOT (Directory that create_private_file may read from; uploads stay disabled when unset). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

OpenSolar MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for OpenSolar MCP?
OpenSolar MCP 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 @alignco/opensolar-mcp was installed 636 times last week.
How do I connect OpenSolar MCP?
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 @alignco/opensolar-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use OpenSolar MCP?
The npm package @alignco/opensolar-mcp was installed 636 times in the last week. Week over week that is +726%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is OpenSolar MCP 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.
