Trove MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Trove MCP?

Trove 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 @mrfentmen/trove-mcp.

How do I connect Trove MCP?

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 @mrfentmen/trove-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
