AppCrane runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 660 installs a week from npm. Last commit 22 Oct 2026.
Deploy and manage apps on your own AppCrane instance, the self-hosted PaaS for AI-built apps.
Today is the operative word: we check AppCrane 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.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
APPCRANE_URL (Base URL of your own AppCrane instance, e.g. https://crane.example.com. Without it the connector still starts and answers tools/list from the bundled catalog, but cannot execute tools), APPCRANE_KEY (Your AppCrane API key, sent to the instance as the X-API-Key header. Required to execute tools), APPCRANE_GITHUB_TOKEN (Optional GitHub personal access token, sent as X-Github-Token, to unlock the github_* passthrough tools).
