Paparats – Local Semantic Code Search MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Paparats – Local Semantic Code Search MCP?
Paparats – Local Semantic Code Search 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 @paparats/cli was installed 1 441 times last week.
How do I connect Paparats – Local Semantic Code Search 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 @paparats/cli straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Paparats – Local Semantic Code Search MCP?
The npm package @paparats/cli was installed 1 441 times in the last week. Week over week that is +174%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Paparats – Local Semantic Code Search MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 10 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.
