Nothing serious here today

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

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: SCRIBEFY_API_KEY (Scribefy API key (sk_live_… or sk_test_…) from scribefy.app/dashboard. Available on the API + MCP plan.), SCRIBEFY_API_BASE (Override the API base URL. Defaults to https://api.scribefy.app.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Scribefy — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Scribefy?

Scribefy 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 scribefy-mcp was installed 71 times last week.

How do I connect Scribefy?

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 scribefy-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Scribefy?

The npm package scribefy-mcp was installed 71 times in the last week. Week over week that is +172%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Scribefy open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 1 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.
