Image Viewer — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Image Viewer?

Image Viewer 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 inchat-image-viewer-mcp was installed 43 times last week.

How do I connect Image Viewer?

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 inchat-image-viewer-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Image Viewer?

The npm package inchat-image-viewer-mcp was installed 43 times in the last week. Week over week that is +55%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Image Viewer open source?

We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
