What the code does

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

Nothing serious here today

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

Visuals MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Visuals MCP?
Visuals 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 @harrybin/visuals-mcp was installed 70 times last week.
How do I connect Visuals 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 @harrybin/visuals-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Visuals MCP?
The npm package @harrybin/visuals-mcp was installed 70 times in the last week. Week over week that is +68%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Visuals MCP open source?
We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript, 5 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
