Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Reolink MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

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 reolink-mcp -- uvx reolink-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reolink-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "reolink-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.reolink-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["reolink-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reolink-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "reolink-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reolink-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "reolink-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: RMCP_CONFIG_FILE (Path to the camera config YAML (default: ~/.config/reolink-mcp/config.yaml)), RMCP_READ_ONLY (Set to 'true' to strip all control tools and run observe-only). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Reolink MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Reolink MCP?
Reolink MCP 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 pypi package reolink-mcp was installed 51 times last week.
How do I connect Reolink MCP?
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 reolink-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Reolink MCP?
The pypi package reolink-mcp was installed 51 times in the last week. Week over week that is -16%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Reolink MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 2 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.
