This one needs environment variables set before it will start: PIHOLE_INSTANCES (Comma-separated list of Pi-hole instance names (e.g. 'pihole' or 'primary,secondary')), PIHOLE_BASE_URL (Base URL of your first Pi-hole instance (e.g. 'http://192.168.1.100')), PIHOLE_PASSWORD (API password for your first Pi-hole instance). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Pi-hole MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Pi-hole MCP Server?

Pi-hole MCP Server 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 @ranklancer/pihole-mcp was installed 30 times last week.

How do I connect Pi-hole MCP Server?

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 @ranklancer/pihole-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Pi-hole MCP Server?

The npm package @ranklancer/pihole-mcp was installed 30 times in the last week. Week over week that is +89%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Pi-hole MCP Server open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 2 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
