This one needs environment variables set before it will start: INSTANODE_TOKEN (Optional bearer JWT for paid-tier callers. Mint at https://instanode.dev/dashboard → 'API token for CLI / agent'. Lifts the free-tier 5-per-subnet-per-day provisioning cap and auto-links new resources to your account. Leave unset to use the free tier anonymously.), INSTANODE_API_BASE (Override the API base URL. Defaults to https://api.instanode.dev. Useful for self-hosted deployments.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

InstaNode Dev — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for InstaNode Dev?
InstaNode Dev 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 @instanode/mcp was installed 44 times last week.
How do I connect InstaNode Dev?
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 @instanode/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use InstaNode Dev?
The npm package @instanode/mcp was installed 44 times in the last week. Week over week that is +109%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is InstaNode Dev 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.
