This one needs environment variables set before it will start: GCS_INTERNAL_SECRET (64-hex HMAC secret that enables create_order (Lightning checkout). Browsing tools work without it. Requested at https://giftcardshop.org/contact.), GCS_API_BASE (Override the public API base. Defaults to https://api.giftcardshop.org.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Giftcardshop — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Giftcardshop?

Giftcardshop 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 @giftcardshop/mcp was installed 33 times last week.

How do I connect Giftcardshop?

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 @giftcardshop/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Giftcardshop?

The npm package @giftcardshop/mcp was installed 33 times in the last week. Week over week that is +84%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Giftcardshop open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript 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.
