Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Connections 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 connections -- npx -y connections-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "connections": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "connections-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.connections]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "connections-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "connections": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "connections-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json

        "connections-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CONNECTIONS_WORKSPACE (Absolute path to the folder this MCP session operates on. Defaults to the client's working directory; set it only when the client cannot supply one.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Connections — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Connections?
Connections 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 connections-mcp was installed 220 times last week.
How do I connect Connections?
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 connections-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Connections?
The npm package connections-mcp was installed 220 times in the last week. Week over week that is -77%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
