Familiar — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Familiar?
Familiar 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 familiar-vtt was installed 461 times last week.
How do I connect Familiar?
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 familiar-vtt straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Familiar?
The npm package familiar-vtt was installed 461 times in the last week. Week over week that is +74%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Familiar open source?
No, and the distinction matters: it ships its own licence file rather than a standard open-source licence. That makes it source-available — you can read the code, but the terms are the author's own, not one of the recognised open-source licences. Read them before you build on it.
