Swiss Academic Libraries MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Swiss Academic Libraries MCP?
Swiss Academic Libraries 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 pypi package swiss-academic-libraries-mcp was installed 89 times last week.
How do I connect Swiss Academic Libraries 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 swiss-academic-libraries-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Swiss Academic Libraries MCP?
The pypi package swiss-academic-libraries-mcp was installed 89 times in the last week. Week over week that is -24%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Swiss Academic Libraries MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 1 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.
