MCP Config Guard — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Config Guard?
MCP Config Guard 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 @readystack/mcp-config-guard was installed 276 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Config Guard?
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 @readystack/mcp-config-guard straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Config Guard?
The npm package @readystack/mcp-config-guard was installed 276 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Config Guard open source?
We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
