Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Bounded Tools 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 bounded-tools-mcp -- npx -y @bounded-systems/bounded-tools-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bounded-tools-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@bounded-systems/bounded-tools-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }

      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: BOUNDED_TOOLS_MCP_SIGNATURE_MODE (Manifest Sigstore signature check: off | warn | require.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Bounded Tools MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Bounded Tools MCP?
Bounded Tools 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 @bounded-systems/bounded-tools-mcp was installed 20 times last week.
How do I connect Bounded Tools 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 @bounded-systems/bounded-tools-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Bounded Tools MCP?
The npm package @bounded-systems/bounded-tools-mcp was installed 20 times in the last week. Week over week that is +20%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Bounded Tools 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.
