Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check ChangeDetection.io MCP Server 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: CHANGEDETECTION_BASE_URL (Base URL of the ChangeDetection.io instance, e.g. https://changedetection.example.com), CHANGEDETECTION_API_KEY (ChangeDetection.io API key). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

ChangeDetection.io MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for ChangeDetection.io MCP Server?

ChangeDetection.io 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 pypi package changedetection-mcp was installed 74 times last week.

How do I connect ChangeDetection.io 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 changedetection-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use ChangeDetection.io MCP Server?

The pypi package changedetection-mcp was installed 74 times in the last week. Week over week that is -1%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is ChangeDetection.io MCP Server open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 1 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.
