Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Puppetry 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: PUPPETRY_API_KEY (Puppetry Developer API key (pk_live_...) from Studio settings at https://www.puppetry.com/studio/settings/api-keys). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Puppetry — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Puppetry?

Puppetry 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 @puppetry.com/mcp-server was installed 35 times last week.

How do I connect Puppetry?

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 @puppetry.com/mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Puppetry?

The npm package @puppetry.com/mcp-server was installed 35 times in the last week. Week over week that is +3%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
