In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

Nothing serious here today

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

Connect this server

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 cairn-mcp -- uvx cairn-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cairn-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "cairn-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.cairn-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["cairn-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cairn-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "cairn-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "cairn-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "cairn-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: CAIRN_TOKEN (Your Cairn API token, copied from the web app account menu. If unset, the server reads it from ~/.cairn_token), CAIRN_API_URL (Base URL of the Cairn API. Defaults to production).

Cairn — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Cairn?
Cairn 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 pypi package cairn-mcp was installed 118 times last week.
How do I connect Cairn?
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 cairn-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Cairn?
The pypi package cairn-mcp was installed 118 times in the last week. Week over week that is +33%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Cairn open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
