Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check mcp-hub 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 mcp-hub -- npx -y @ni-c/mcp-hub
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-hub": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ni-c/mcp-hub"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.mcp-hub]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@ni-c/mcp-hub"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-hub": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ni-c/mcp-hub"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-hub": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ni-c/mcp-hub"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CONFIG_PATH (Path to the mcp.json listing the servers to expose, in Claude Code's mcpServers format (default mcp.json in the working directory)), IDLE_TIMEOUT_MINUTES (Minutes of inactivity before a server is put to sleep; 0 starts every server at launch and keeps it running (default 60)), TOOL_CACHE_PATH (Tool snapshots of sleeping servers (default .mcp-hub/tool-cache.json beside the config)), LOG_FILE (Mirror the hub's log lines into this file; stdout carries the protocol, so logging goes to stderr otherwise). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

mcp-hub — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for mcp-hub?
mcp-hub 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 @ni-c/mcp-hub was installed 345 times last week.
How do I connect mcp-hub?
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 @ni-c/mcp-hub straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use mcp-hub?
The npm package @ni-c/mcp-hub was installed 345 times in the last week. Week over week that is +182%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is mcp-hub open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 3 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.
