What the code does

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Touches key and credential files .github/workflows/publish.yml:131
            First, create a `.npmrc` file in your home directory:

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

Nothing serious here today

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

Tech Debt MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Tech Debt MCP?
Tech Debt 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 tech-debt-mcp was installed 46 times last week.
How do I connect Tech Debt MCP?
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 tech-debt-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Tech Debt MCP?
The npm package tech-debt-mcp was installed 46 times in the last week. Week over week that is +84%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Tech Debt MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 7 stars on GitHub and 36 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
