Put your own value in place of <RACHIO_ACCESS_TOKEN> (Long-lived Rachio OAuth access token. Mint one with `rachio-mcp-token` (or `uvx --from rachio-mcp rachio-mcp-token`). The token lasts ~25 years and replaces sending your password to the MCP process). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Rachio MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Rachio MCP?

Rachio 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 rachio-mcp was installed 104 times last week.

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

How many people use Rachio MCP?

The pypi package rachio-mcp was installed 104 times in the last week. Week over week that is -42%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Rachio MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 8 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.
