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 83 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 in the form 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 83 times in the last week. Week over week that is -19%. 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.
