Serena MCP: the IDE for your agent — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Serena MCP: the IDE for your agent?
Serena MCP: the IDE for your agent 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 serena-agent was installed 32 915 times last week.
How do I connect Serena MCP: the IDE for your agent?
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 serena-agent straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Serena MCP: the IDE for your agent?
The pypi package serena-agent was installed 32 915 times in the last week. Week over week that is +22%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Serena MCP: the IDE for your agent open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 27 498 stars on GitHub and 63 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
