MCP Units — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Units?
MCP Units 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 mcp-units was installed 75 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Units?
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 mcp-units straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Units?
The pypi package mcp-units was installed 75 times in the last week. Week over week that is -13%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Units open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python and 1 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
