Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Arcane RMCP 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 arcane-rmcp -- npx -y arcane-rmcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "arcane-rmcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "arcane-rmcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: RARCANE_API_URL (Arcane API base URL.), RARCANE_API_KEY (Arcane API key or bearer token.), ARCANE_RMCP_VERSION (Optional GitHub release tag override for the downloaded Arcane RMCP binary.), ARCANE_RMCP_REPO (Optional GitHub owner/repo override for release asset downloads.), ARCANE_RMCP_RELEASE_BASE_URL (Optional release download base URL override.), RUST_LOG (Tracing filter for Arcane RMCP logs.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Arcane RMCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Arcane RMCP?
Arcane RMCP 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 arcane-rmcp.
How do I connect Arcane RMCP?
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 arcane-rmcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
Is Arcane RMCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in Rust and 3 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.
