Nothing serious here today

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 ordinals -- npx -y ordinals-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ordinals": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ordinals-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "ordinals-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ordinals": {
      "args": [
        "-y",

      ],

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: HIRO_API_KEY (Hiro API key (free at platform.hiro.so) — 500 RPM), ORDISCAN_API_KEY (Ordiscan API key (free at ordiscan.com/docs/api)), MAGIC_EDEN_API_KEY (Magic Eden API key (optional, higher rate limits)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Ordinals — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Ordinals?
Ordinals 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 ordinals-mcp was installed 46 times last week.
How do I connect Ordinals?
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 ordinals-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Ordinals?
The npm package ordinals-mcp was installed 46 times in the last week. Week over week that is +30%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Ordinals open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 2 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
