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 tronbyt-mcp -- npx -y tronbyt-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: TRONBYT_BASE_URL (Base URL of your tronbyt/server, e.g. http://tronbyt.local:8000), TRONBYT_API_KEY (Per-device API key from the Tronbyt web UI). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Tronbyt MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Tronbyt MCP?
Tronbyt 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 tronbyt-mcp was installed 24 times last week.
How do I connect Tronbyt 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 tronbyt-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Tronbyt MCP?
The npm package tronbyt-mcp was installed 24 times in the last week. Week over week that is -6%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Tronbyt MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript 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.
