This one needs environment variables set before it will start: ONFIDO_API_TOKEN (Onfido API token. Sent as 'Authorization: Token token=<value>'.), ONFIDO_REGION (Region for the API host: 'eu' (api.eu.onfido.com), 'us' (api.us.onfido.com), 'ca' (api.ca.onfido.com). Defaults to api.onfido.com when unset.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Onfido — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Onfido?

MCP Onfido 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-onfido was installed 21 times last week.

How do I connect MCP Onfido?

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-onfido straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use MCP Onfido?

The npm package @codespar/mcp-onfido was installed 21 times in the last week. Week over week that is +31%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is MCP Onfido 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.
