Nothing serious here today

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

Claude Code Claude Desktop Codex Cursor VS Code

run in your terminal

claude mcp add kaiten-mcp -- uvx kaiten-mcp

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: KAITEN_API_TOKEN (Kaiten API token from Profile > API key.), KAITEN_WORKSPACE_SLUG (Kaiten workspace slug. Required unless KAITEN_BASE_URL is set.), KAITEN_BASE_URL (Full Kaiten API root for on-prem or custom domains. Required unless KAITEN_WORKSPACE_SLUG is set.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Kaiten — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Kaiten?

Kaiten 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 kaiten-mcp was installed 60 times last week.

How do I connect Kaiten?

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 kaiten-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Kaiten?

The pypi package kaiten-mcp was installed 60 times in the last week. Week over week that is +0%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Kaiten open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 1 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.
