Put your own values in place of <SNIPEIT_API_BASE> (Snipe-IT API base URL including /api/v1, for example https://snipe-it.example.com/api/v1. Use https), <SNIPEIT_API_TOKEN> (Snipe-IT Personal API Token (JWT), from Snipe-IT > User > Manage API Keys. It acts with the rights of its user). The author’s registry entry marks them as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: SNIPEIT_CONFIRM_WRITES (Write guard, on by default: write tools return a preview until called again with confirm: "YES". Only false, 0, no or off disable it), SNIPEIT_TIMEOUT_MS (Timeout in ms per HTTP attempt, including the body read (positive integer)), SNIPEIT_LOG_LEVEL (Log level on stderr: debug, info, warn or error), SNIPEIT_MAX_RESULT_BYTES (Cap for one tool result in bytes (serialized JSON), minimum 65536. Larger results come back shortened with truncated: true), SNIPEIT_CALL_DEADLINE_MS (Overall deadline for one tool call in ms, across retries and all: true pagination. 0 means none), SNIPEIT_REDACT_PII (true masks personal data (email, username, names of people, phone, address, employee number) in tool results), SNIPEIT_REDACT_SECRETS (true masks secrets (password/secret/token/api_key fields, secret custom field values) in tool results with (redacted)), SNIPEIT_READ_ONLY (true refuses every write at runtime; all tools stay registered and reads work), SNIPEIT_REQUIRE_PREVIEW (true (with the write guard on): confirm: "YES" executes only after a preview of the same request).

Snipe-IT (unofficial) — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Snipe-IT (unofficial)?
Snipe-IT (unofficial) 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 the-real-snipeit-mcp was installed 525 times last week.
How do I connect Snipe-IT (unofficial)?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls the-real-snipeit-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Snipe-IT (unofficial)?
The npm package the-real-snipeit-mcp was installed 525 times in the last week. Week over week that is +3810%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Snipe-IT (unofficial) open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
