Put your own value in place of <TINYFISH_API_KEY> (TinyFish API key used by Search and Fetch). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: DATABASE_URL (Shared PostgreSQL connection URL for durable production state. Recommended for remote/multi-replica hosting), RESEARCH_DB_PATH (SQLite persistence path used when DATABASE_URL is unset. Intended for local/single-instance usage).

TinyFish Guided Research — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for TinyFish Guided Research?

TinyFish Guided Research 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 pypi package tinyfish-guided-research-mcp was installed 72 times last week.

How do I connect TinyFish Guided Research?

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 tinyfish-guided-research-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use TinyFish Guided Research?

The pypi package tinyfish-guided-research-mcp was installed 72 times in the last week. Week over week that is -30%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is TinyFish Guided Research open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python 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.
