Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Skylight MCP 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.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: SKYLIGHT_REFRESH_TOKEN (An OAuth refresh token you already hold. Supply this and no password is needed — the login is skipped entirely), SKYLIGHT_EMAIL (Skylight account email. Pair with SKYLIGHT_PASSWORD for direct login. Needed only if you are not supplying SKYLIGHT_REFRESH_TOKEN), SKYLIGHT_PASSWORD (Skylight account password — required iff SKYLIGHT_EMAIL is set. Needed only if you are not supplying SKYLIGHT_REFRESH_TOKEN), SKYLIGHT_FRAME_ID (Optional: pick a specific Skylight frame when the account has more than one), SKYLIGHT_NAME (Friendly account name used in startup logs), SKYLIGHT_TOKEN_CACHE (Set to false to disable the on-disk token cache and re-authenticate on every process start. Defaults to enabled), SKYLIGHT_TOKEN_FILE (Absolute path for the token cache file. Defaults to $MCP_DATA_DIR/.skylight-mcp/tokens.json), SKYLIGHT_BASE_URL (Override the API base (default https://app.ourskylight.com/api). The auth origin is derived from it, so pointing this elsewhere moves the login flow too — and the new host must be added to the registration’s egress allowlist, or every call is blocked), SKYLIGHT_APPLE_APP_PASSWORD (Optional: an app-specific password from appleid.apple.com, used only by skylight_link_apple_calendar. Env-only by design — the tool takes no password argument, so the credential never passes through the model or the transcript), SKYLIGHT_APPLE_ID (Optional: the Apple ID email skylight_link_apple_calendar links; the tool's email argument overrides it), SKYLIGHT_UPLOAD_DIR (Optional: directories that the photo-upload, event-import-from-photo and avatar tools may read files from (several separated by ':', or ';' on Windows; '~' allowed). Any other path is refused. Unset: ~/Pictures and ~/Downloads, or only $MCP_DATA_DIR/uploads in a hosted deployment).

Skylight MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Skylight MCP?
Skylight 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 skylight-mcp was installed 1 368 times last week.
How do I connect Skylight 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 skylight-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Skylight MCP?
The npm package skylight-mcp was installed 1 368 times in the last week. Week over week that is -4%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Skylight MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 22 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
