Nothing serious here today

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

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: SYKE_LICENSE_KEY (SYKE Pro license key (optional — Free tier works without it)), GEMINI_KEY (Google Gemini API key for AI semantic analysis (optional, Pro only)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Syke — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Syke?

Syke 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 @syke1/mcp-server was installed 162 times last week.

How do I connect Syke?

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 @syke1/mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Syke?

The npm package @syke1/mcp-server was installed 162 times in the last week. Week over week that is +39%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Syke open source?

We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript, 2 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
