Nothing serious here today

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

Lm — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Lm?
Lm 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 @houtini/lm was installed 284 times last week.
How do I connect Lm?
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 @houtini/lm straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Lm?
The npm package @houtini/lm was installed 284 times in the last week. Week over week that is -31%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Lm open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in JavaScript, 113 stars on GitHub and 9 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
