Put your own value in place of <BURNBOUND_KEY> (Agent key (bb_agent_…) created in the Burnbound dashboard. Sent only to the Burnbound API). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: BURNBOUND_API (Burnbound API base URL. https:// only (http:// only for loopback). Set it for a self-hosted or local API), BURNBOUND_AGENT_ID (Only with an org key instead of an agent key: the agent the tools act for. Ignored with an agent key), BURNBOUND_WALLET_PROFILE (Local wallet profile for client-side signing (created with `npx -y @burnbound/mcp wallet init`). 1–32 of a-z, 0-9, _ and -), BURNBOUND_HOME (Directory for the local wallet file when the OS keychain is not used), BURNBOUND_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES (fetch_paid response body cap in bytes (maximum 10485760). Longer bodies are truncated), BURNBOUND_FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS (fetch_paid deadline for the whole exchange with the URL, between 1000 and 120000 ms), BURNBOUND_APP_URL (Origin of the Burnbound panel, for the approval link a held payment returns (and opens in clients with URL-mode elicitation). Default: the API origin when it is https. https:// only), BURNBOUND_APPROVAL_WAIT_MS (How long fetch_paid waits for the human's decision once the approval page is opened from the chat, between 0 and 50000 ms. 0 returns pending_approval at once), BURNBOUND_BASE_RPC_URL (diagnose_payment: Base RPC used to read the paying wallet's USDC balance. https:// only. Only the wallet address is sent to it), BURNBOUND_BASE_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL (diagnose_payment: Base Sepolia RPC used to read the paying wallet's USDC balance. https:// only).

Burnbound — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Burnbound?
Burnbound 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 @burnbound/mcp was installed 374 times last week.
How do I connect Burnbound?
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 @burnbound/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Burnbound?
The npm package @burnbound/mcp was installed 374 times in the last week. Week over week that is +345%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
