Genealogy runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 757 installs a week from npm.
Reads and edits local GEDCOM/BegatAll over stdio. Living people shown unless you hide them.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Genealogy every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

}Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
GENEALOGY_MCP_HIDE_LIVING (Set to 1 to hide living people in read tools. true, yes, and on also hide them. Leave unset to keep the default, which shows living people. GENEALOGY_HIDE_LIVING is the same switch. This stays on your computer. export_session still leaves living people out unless you opt out there), GENEALOGY_MCP_SHOW_LIVING (Older show switch. Set to 1 to include living people in read tools and to keep them in export_session. Set to 0 to hide them. A hide switch wins when both are set. Leave unset to use the hide switch, the config file, or the default), GENEALOGY_MCP_ALLOW_COMMIT (Set to 1 to allow commit_session and restore_backup to replace a file on this computer after confirmation. Leave unset to keep the default, which refuses those writes).
