What the code does

We read the source, 23 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

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.

Builds a database query by concatenation .github/workflows/bounty.yml:114
      - name: Update Status field
        env:
          GH_TOKEN: ${{ env.PROJECT_TOKEN }}

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

Mobilerun does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 97.2% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, but it did not say what kind of credentials it expects.

Mobilerun — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Mobilerun?
The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 97.8% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is Mobilerun working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 89 of 91 checks got a reply (97.8%), average response time 289 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Mobilerun?
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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You will need your own credentials: it refuses anonymous clients.
Does Mobilerun need an API key?
Yes. Every time we knock, Mobilerun answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.
How fast is Mobilerun?
It answers our handshake in 289 ms on average, which is faster than 52% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Mobilerun open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 9 393 stars on GitHub and 17 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
