Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Totem 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 totem -- npx -y @briangaoo/totem
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "totem": {

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: WHOOP_IOS_BEARER_TOKEN (Whoop Cognito access token. Obtain via `totem auth` from the repo, which prompts for your Whoop email + password + SMS MFA code, then writes both tokens to a local .env. Auto-refreshes every ~24h.), WHOOP_COGNITO_REFRESH_TOKEN (Whoop Cognito refresh token (~30 day lifetime). Obtained alongside the bearer token from `totem auth`. When this expires, run `totem auth` to get a fresh pair.), WHOOP_EMAIL (Your Whoop account email. Used only by `totem auth` — the running server reads tokens, not credentials.), WHOOP_USER_ID (Your numeric Whoop user ID. Optional — used by whoop_profile and whoop_leaderboard. Avoids one redundant bootstrap call per session if set.), WHOOP_TIMEZONE (IANA timezone (e.g., America/Los_Angeles) for response timestamps. Optional — if unset, the server auto-detects from your Whoop profile's timezone_offset field (refreshed hourly).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Totem — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Totem?
Totem 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 @briangaoo/totem.
How do I connect Totem?
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 @briangaoo/totem straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
Is Totem open source?
We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript, 119 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
