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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add mcp-evolution-api -- npx -y @codespar/mcp-evolution-api
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-evolution-api": {

        "@codespar/mcp-evolution-api"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: EVOLUTION_API_KEY (API key for evolution-api). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Evolution API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Evolution API?
MCP Evolution API 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 @codespar/mcp-evolution-api was installed 30 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Evolution API?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @codespar/mcp-evolution-api straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Evolution API?
The npm package @codespar/mcp-evolution-api was installed 30 times in the last week. Week over week that is +154%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Evolution API open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 271 stars on GitHub and 8 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
