Put your own value in place of <GHOST_INSPECTOR_API_KEY> (Your personal Ghost Inspector key, from Account Settings then API Access. Read fresh on every call, never written to disk, never echoed back). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: GHOST_INSPECTOR_ORG_ID (Organization id. Needed only to execute a validation; read it from gi_whoami), GHOST_INSPECTOR_ALLOW_WRITES (Set to exactly true to let the five write tools act. They are listed either way; anything else keeps the server read-only), GHOST_INSPECTOR_ALLOW_RUNS (Set to "true" to let gi_run_test execute a stored test against a real environment, which can submit a real form. Deliberately not implied by GHOST_INSPECTOR_ALLOW_WRITES: an edit can be rolled back from the backup this server returns, a submission cannot. Defaults to false), GHOST_INSPECTOR_BACKUP_DIR (Where the write path saves the prior definition of every test it touches, credentials removed. Defaults to ~/.ghost-inspector-mcp/backups, created owner-only).

Ghost Inspector MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Ghost Inspector MCP?
Ghost Inspector 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 ghost-inspector-mcp was installed 139 times last week.
How do I connect Ghost Inspector MCP?
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 ghost-inspector-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Ghost Inspector MCP?
The npm package ghost-inspector-mcp was installed 139 times in the last week. Week over week that is +77%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Ghost Inspector 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.
