In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

      - name: Create/Update GitHub Release
        if: ${{ env.RUN_PUBLISH_MCPB == 'true' }}

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

SmartBear MCP missed 3 checks this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

SmartBear MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for SmartBear MCP?
The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 99.5% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is SmartBear MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 183 of 184 checks got a reply (99.5%), average response time 461 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect SmartBear MCP?
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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to SmartBear MCP?
No API key is involved. SmartBear MCP answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is SmartBear MCP?
It answers our handshake in 461 ms on average, which is faster than 32% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use SmartBear MCP?
The npm package @smartbear/mcp was installed 10 093 times in the last week. Week over week that is +7%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is SmartBear MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 44 stars on GitHub and 13 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
