Coalent runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 125 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 16 Sep 2026.

Fresh, attributed facts from your sources — cached, and invalidated the moment a source changes.

Nothing serious here today

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

}

Put your own value in place of <OPENAI_API_KEY> (Required in folder (--watch) mode for semantic embeddings (text-embedding-3-small) and build synthesis (gpt-4o-mini); the server exits loudly without it rather than degrade. Factory (--cache-factory) mode brings its own models and needs no key). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: COALENT_MCP_TOKEN (Optional shared secret for --transport http: when set, every HTTP request must carry Authorization: Bearer <token>. Unused over stdio).

Coalent — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Coalent?
Coalent 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 coalent was installed 125 times last week.
How do I connect Coalent?
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 coalent straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Coalent?
The pypi package coalent was installed 125 times in the last week. Week over week that is -35%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Coalent open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python, 12 stars on GitHub and 4 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
