Vdiff MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 51 installs a week from npm. Last commit 9 Jul 2026.
Breaking-change diffs for npm packages: removed exports, changed signatures, migration notes.
Today is the operative word: we check Vdiff MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
