Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Gatewards 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: GATEWARDS_API_KEY (Gatewards agent API key (gw_agent_…). Required for authenticated proxy calls; the server starts without it but cannot reach the gateway.), GATEWARDS_GATEWAY_URL (Gateway base URL. Defaults to http://localhost:3001; set to https://api.gatewards.com for the hosted gateway.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Gatewards — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Gatewards?

Gatewards 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 @gatewards/mcp-server was installed 35 times last week.

How do I connect Gatewards?

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

How many people use Gatewards?

The npm package @gatewards/mcp-server was installed 35 times in the last week. Week over week that is +46%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Gatewards open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
