Wakeonlan MCP Server runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 287 installs a week from npm. Last commit 29 Oct 2026.
Wake LAN machines with Wake-on-LAN magic packets from host profiles, then confirm they came up.
Today is the operative word: we check Wakeonlan MCP Server 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.
