Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Clio MCP 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 clio-mcp -- npx -y @oktopeak/clio-mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: TOKEN_BROKER_URL (URL of Oktopeak's hosted token broker for the Clio App Directory listed install. Do not set CLIO_CLIENT_ID/CLIO_CLIENT_SECRET alongside this — the shared app's secret lives only on the broker, never on this machine.), ENCRYPTION_KEY (Optional. Leave unset to auto-generate a key stored in the OS keychain (or ~/.clio-mcp/key.hex as fallback on headless Linux/WSL2). If set, must be a 64-character hex string — it will be migrated to the OS keychain on first use.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Clio MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Clio MCP?
Clio 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 @oktopeak/clio-mcp was installed 168 times last week.
How do I connect Clio 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 @oktopeak/clio-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Clio MCP?
The npm package @oktopeak/clio-mcp was installed 168 times in the last week. Week over week that is -46%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Clio MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 24 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
