This one needs environment variables set before it will start: DEWEY_API_KEY (Your Dewey project API key), DEWEY_COLLECTION_ID (Default collection ID. When set, tools that accept collection_id fall back to this value.), DEWEY_API_URL (Override the API base URL (default: https://api.meetdewey.com/v1)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Dewey — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is Dewey working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 155 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is Dewey still maintained?

The author archived this repository on GitHub, meaning it is no longer maintained. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

The registry lists Dewey as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Dewey?

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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Dewey need an API key?

No. Dewey completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How many people use Dewey?

The npm package @meetdewey/mcp was installed 41 times in the last week. Week over week that is +97%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Dewey open source?

We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
