Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Vanta every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Put your own values in place of <VANTA_CLIENT_ID> (Vanta OAuth Client ID), <VANTA_CLIENT_SECRET> (Vanta OAuth Client Secret). The author’s registry entry marks them as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: VANTA_REGION (Accepted for compatibility; US/EU/AU tenants all use api.vanta.com), VANTA_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS (Per-request timeout in milliseconds (default 60000)).

Vanta — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Vanta?
Vanta 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 @mindstone/mcp-server-vanta was installed 66 times last week.
How do I connect Vanta?
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 @mindstone/mcp-server-vanta straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Vanta?
The npm package @mindstone/mcp-server-vanta was installed 66 times in the last week. Week over week that is +267%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Vanta open source?
We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript, 14 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
