Nothing serious here today

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

Neuronscope — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Neuronscope?
Neuronscope 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 neuronscope-cli was installed 176 times last week.
How do I connect Neuronscope?
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 neuronscope-cli straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Neuronscope?
The pypi package neuronscope-cli was installed 176 times in the last week. Week over week that is -21%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Neuronscope open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 1 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.
