Nothing serious here today

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

Connect this server

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add idf-mcp -- npx -y @intent-driven/mcp-server
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "idf-mcp": {

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: IDF_SERVER (Base URL of the IDF host runtime (e.g. http://localhost:3001).), IDF_DOMAIN (IDF domain to expose as MCP tools (e.g. invest, booking, planning).), IDF_BOOTSTRAP (Set to 0 if the host runtime already bootstrapped the domain; 1 (default) to bootstrap from IDF_ONTOLOGY_PATH on first connection.), IDF_ONTOLOGY_PATH (Filesystem path to the domain ontology module (only used when IDF_BOOTSTRAP=1).), IDF_AUTH_TOKEN (Optional bearer token forwarded to the host runtime as the agent's role credential.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Idf MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Idf MCP?
Idf 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 @intent-driven/mcp-server was installed 32 times last week.
How do I connect Idf 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 @intent-driven/mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Idf MCP?
The npm package @intent-driven/mcp-server was installed 32 times in the last week. Week over week that is +62%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Idf MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript 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.
