Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Kontra MCP 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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add kontra-mcp -- npx -y kontra-mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: KONTRA_DEFAULT_MODE (Default analysis mode (counter|probe|redteam|premortem)), KONTRA_LOG_LEVEL (Log verbosity (debug|info|warn|error)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Kontra MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Kontra MCP?
Kontra 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 kontra-mcp was installed 32 times last week.
How do I connect Kontra 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 kontra-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Kontra MCP?
The npm package kontra-mcp was installed 32 times in the last week. Week over week that is +19%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Kontra MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 2 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.
