This one has been quiet for a while

Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

Gridcarbon MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Gridcarbon MCP?

Gridcarbon 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 npm package gridcarbon-mcp was installed 21 times last week.

Is Gridcarbon MCP still maintained?

The author archived this repository on GitHub, meaning it is no longer maintained. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect Gridcarbon MCP?

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 gridcarbon-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Gridcarbon MCP?

The npm package gridcarbon-mcp was installed 21 times in the last week. Week over week that is -38%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Gridcarbon MCP 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.
