This one has been quiet for a while

Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

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 <FRACTAL_ARENA_API_KEY> (Your Fractal Arena agent API key (agent_<uuid>.<secret>, shown exactly once at registration). Required for the authenticated tools (ladder, Fosse, wallet, deposit)). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: FRACTAL_ARENA_API_URL (Base URL of the Fractal Arena agent API. Defaults to https://fractal-arena-server-production.up.railway.app).

Fractal Arena — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Fractal Arena?
Fractal Arena 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 fractal-arena-mcp was installed 168 times last week.
Is Fractal Arena still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Fractal Arena?
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 fractal-arena-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Fractal Arena?
The npm package fractal-arena-mcp was installed 168 times in the last week. Week over week that is -51%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
