Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Hypawave 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.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: NWC_URL (Nostr Wallet Connect string for automatic Lightning payments. Absent = manual mode (tools return bolt11s to pay externally).), HYPAWAVE_MAX_SPEND_SATS (Maximum size of any one payment, in sats — not a total-spend budget. Unset = derived live from the platform's max invoice size.), HYPAWAVE_PRIVKEY (64-char hex secp256k1 seller identity key. Unset = auto-generated to ~/.hypawave/identity.json.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Hypawave — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Hypawave?
Hypawave 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 @hypawave/mcp was installed 89 times last week.
How do I connect Hypawave?
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 @hypawave/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Hypawave?
The npm package @hypawave/mcp was installed 89 times in the last week. Week over week that is +59%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Hypawave open source?
No, and the distinction matters: its licence is declared as MIT-0. That makes it source-available — you can read the code, but the terms are the author's own, not one of the recognised open-source licences. Read them before you build on it.
