Nothing serious here today

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

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.

Put your own value in place of <RASON_BEARER_TOKEN> (RASON API bearer token. Required for model management, solving, and diagnostics. Obtain at https://rason.com/). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: RASON_SERVER_URL (Base URL of the RASON REST API. /api is appended automatically), RASON_RESULT_ARRAY_LIMIT (Maximum array/dataFrame rows before solver results are summarized), RASON_RESULT_SIZE_LIMIT (Maximum solve-result size (in characters) before truncation), RASON_REQUEST_TIMEOUT (HTTP request timeout in milliseconds).

RASON — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for RASON?
RASON 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 @frontlinesystems/rason-mcp-server was installed 80 times last week.
How do I connect RASON?
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 @frontlinesystems/rason-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use RASON?
The npm package @frontlinesystems/rason-mcp-server was installed 80 times in the last week. Week over week that is +51%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
