Lit MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Lit MCP?

Lit MCP 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 lit-mcp was installed 101 times last week.

How do I connect Lit MCP?

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

How many people use Lit MCP?

The pypi package lit-mcp was installed 101 times in the last week. Week over week that is -17%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
