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.

MCP Agent Trace Inspector — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Agent Trace Inspector?
MCP Agent Trace Inspector 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 mcp-agent-trace-inspector was installed 23 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Agent Trace Inspector?
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 mcp-agent-trace-inspector straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Agent Trace Inspector?
The npm package mcp-agent-trace-inspector was installed 23 times in the last week. Week over week that is -8%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Agent Trace Inspector open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
