This one needs environment variables set before it will start: DOMSCOUT_API_KEY (A domscout API key from https://www.domscout.io/dashboard/api-keys. Every tool call is billed to the account that owns it.), DOMSCOUT_BASE_URL (Override the API host. Only needed against a non-production deployment; omit it in normal use.), DOMSCOUT_DOCS_BASE_URL (Override the host the documentation resources are read from. It cannot be derived from DOMSCOUT_BASE_URL, because the API host serves no llms-full.txt.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

domscout — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for domscout?
domscout 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 @domscout/mcp was installed 551 times last week.
How do I connect domscout?
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 @domscout/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use domscout?
The npm package @domscout/mcp was installed 551 times in the last week. Week over week that is +1152%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is domscout 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.
