Surgical Context MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Surgical Context MCP?

Surgical Context 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 surgical-context-mcp was installed 2 559 times last week.

How do I connect Surgical Context MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls surgical-context-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Surgical Context MCP?

The pypi package surgical-context-mcp was installed 2 559 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Surgical Context MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 3 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.
