Nws MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Nws MCP?

Nws MCP 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 nws-mcp was installed 544 times last week.

How do I connect Nws MCP?

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

How many people use Nws MCP?

The npm package nws-mcp was installed 544 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Nws MCP 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.
