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

Code of Paper — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Code of Paper?

Code of Paper 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 pypi package codeofpaper was installed 80 times last week.

How do I connect Code of Paper?

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 codeofpaper straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Code of Paper?

The pypi package codeofpaper was installed 80 times in the last week. Week over week that is -48%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Code of Paper open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 1 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.
