Parlova — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Parlova?

Parlova 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 parlova was installed 688 times last week.

How do I connect Parlova?

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 parlova straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Parlova?

The pypi package parlova was installed 688 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 Parlova open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 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.
