Nothing serious here today

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

Connect this server

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 fetchmux -- npx -y @fetchmux/mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fetchmux": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@fetchmux/mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: FETCHMUX_BASE_URL (Base URL of the self-hosted FetchMux gateway.), FETCHMUX_API_KEY (Bearer key for the gateway's protected routes.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Fetchmux — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Fetchmux?
Fetchmux 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 @fetchmux/mcp was installed 24 times last week.
How do I connect Fetchmux?
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 @fetchmux/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Fetchmux?
The npm package @fetchmux/mcp was installed 24 times in the last week. Week over week that is +56%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Fetchmux open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
