Nothing serious here today

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

Tellcheck — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Tellcheck?

Tellcheck 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 @reneturcios/tellcheck.

How do I connect Tellcheck?

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 @reneturcios/tellcheck straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
