This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add techtenstein-bg -- uvx techtenstein-bg-mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: TECHTENSTEIN_API_KEY (API key from https://apis.techtenstein.com (free tier: 30 images/day)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Techtenstein Bg — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Techtenstein Bg?
Techtenstein Bg 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 techtenstein-bg-mcp was installed 51 times last week.
How do I connect Techtenstein Bg?
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 techtenstein-bg-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Techtenstein Bg?
The pypi package techtenstein-bg-mcp was installed 51 times in the last week. Week over week that is -30%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Techtenstein Bg 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.
