Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: 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).

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 61 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 in the form 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 61 times in the last week. Week over week that is -38%. 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.
