This one needs environment variables set before it will start: KOBO_API_TOKEN (KoboToolbox API token — find it under Account Settings → Security → Display.), KOBO_SERVER (KoboToolbox host: kf.kobotoolbox.org (global, default) or eu.kobotoolbox.org (EU/Ireland)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Kobotoolbox MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Kobotoolbox MCP Server?

Kobotoolbox MCP Server 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 kobotoolbox-mcp-server was installed 26 times last week.

How do I connect Kobotoolbox MCP Server?

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 kobotoolbox-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Kobotoolbox MCP Server?

The npm package kobotoolbox-mcp-server was installed 26 times in the last week. Week over week that is -77%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Kobotoolbox MCP Server open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript 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.
