Nothing serious here today

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

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add askell-mcp -- npx -y askell-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "askell-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "askell-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "askell-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "askell-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }

        "askell-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: ASKELL_PRIVATE_API_KEY (Secret API key from the Askell dashboard), ASKELL_ENV (production (default) or sandbox). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Askell — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Askell?
Askell 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 askell-mcp was installed 537 times last week.
How do I connect Askell?
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 askell-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Askell?
The npm package askell-mcp was installed 537 times in the last week. Week over week that is -13%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Askell open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript 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.
