Nothing serious here today

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

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

MCP Z API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Z API?

MCP Z 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-z-api was installed 24 times last week.

How do I connect MCP Z 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-z-api straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use MCP Z API?

The npm package @codespar/mcp-z-api was installed 24 times in the last week. Week over week that is +45%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is MCP Z 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.
