PreClone MCP Server

by catsnotdrugs Your server? Claim it
local only

PreClone runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 24 installs a week from npm.

Check what a repo would run on your machine (open, agent start, install) before you clone it.

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check PreClone every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

PreClone — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for PreClone?
PreClone 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 preclone was installed 24 times last week.
How do I connect PreClone?
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 preclone straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use PreClone?
The npm package preclone was installed 24 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
