Nothing serious here today

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

Put your own value in place of <RECITE_API_KEY> (Recite API key used for receipt processing requests). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: RECITE_HOME (Optional local data directory for config, ledger, and memory files).

Recite MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Recite MCP?

Recite 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 pypi package recite-mcp was installed 87 times last week.

How do I connect Recite 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 recite-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Recite MCP?

The pypi package recite-mcp was installed 87 times in the last week. Week over week that is -61%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Recite MCP open source?

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