Today is the operative word: we check Alphorn 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.

}

Put your own value in place of <ALPHORN_WEBHOOK_URL> (Webhook Endpoint URL, e.g. https://app.alphorn.dev/n/V1StGXR8_Z5jdHi6B-myT). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: ALPHORN_API_KEY (Webhook API key (alp_...), if the webhook requires one).

Alphorn — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Alphorn?
Alphorn 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 @alphorn/mcp was installed 44 times last week.
How do I connect Alphorn?
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 @alphorn/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Alphorn?
The npm package @alphorn/mcp was installed 44 times in the last week. Week over week that is +52%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Alphorn open source?
Yes — it is published under the AGPL-3.0 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.
