Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Elfa 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 mcp -- npx -y @elfa-ai/mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@elfa-ai/mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

  "mcpServers": {

      "args": [

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: ELFA_API_KEY (Elfa API key from https://dev.elfa.ai), ELFA_HMAC_SECRET (Signs Auto mutations that are not plain notifications). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Elfa — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Elfa?
Elfa 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 @elfa-ai/mcp was installed 82 times last week.
How do I connect Elfa?
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 @elfa-ai/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Elfa?
The npm package @elfa-ai/mcp was installed 82 times in the last week. Week over week that is +14%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Elfa open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
