Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check plcsense 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.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: PLCSENSE_LICENSE_KEY (Optional one-shot licence key (same as plcsense license activate). Skip if this machine is already licensed.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

plcsense — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for plcsense?
plcsense 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 @zeugwerk/plcsense was installed 139 times last week.
How do I connect plcsense?
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 @zeugwerk/plcsense straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use plcsense?
The npm package @zeugwerk/plcsense was installed 139 times in the last week. Week over week that is -66%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
