This one needs environment variables set before it will start: BSVKEY_API_KEY (A funded channel key in the form channelId:channelSecret. Open + fund a channel once at https://inference.bsvkey.com. Optional (can be passed per call).), BSVKEY_BASE_URL (Gateway base URL. Defaults to https://inference.bsvkey.com/v1; override to point at a self-hosted deployment.), BSVKEY_WIF (A funded BSV private key (WIF) used by the x402_infer tool to pay per call in BSV (no channel). Signing is local; the key never leaves the process. Optional (can be passed per call).), BSVKEY_FUNDED_SATS (The amount you funded your channel with on-chain. When set, usage receipts are verified against this instead of the broker-signed fundedSats. Optional (can be passed per call as fundedSats).), BSVKEY_RECEIPT_STATE (Path to a JSON file where per-channel receipt continuity (seq + running totals) is persisted, so replays are caught across restarts. Optional; in-memory only if unset.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Inference MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Inference MCP?
Inference 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 @bsvkey/inference-mcp was installed 50 times last week.
How do I connect Inference 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 @bsvkey/inference-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Inference MCP?
The npm package @bsvkey/inference-mcp was installed 50 times in the last week. Week over week that is -62%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Inference MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript 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.
