Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Pay 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 one needs environment variables set before it will start: PAYSKILL_SIGNER_KEY (Private key hex for importing an existing wallet (optional — generates new wallet if not set)), PAY_NETWORK (Network to use: mainnet or testnet (default: mainnet)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Pay MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Pay MCP?

Pay 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 @pay-skill/mcp was installed 62 times last week.

How do I connect Pay 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 @pay-skill/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Pay MCP?

The npm package @pay-skill/mcp was installed 62 times in the last week. Week over week that is +50%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Pay MCP open source?

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