This one has been quiet for a while

Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

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

      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: ZREAD_TOKEN (Your API key for the service). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Zread MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Zread MCP?
Zread 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 npm package zread-mcp was installed 52 times last week.
Is Zread MCP still maintained?
The author archived this repository on GitHub, meaning it is no longer maintained. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Zread 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 zread-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Zread MCP?
The npm package zread-mcp was installed 52 times in the last week. Week over week that is +196%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Zread 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.
