Pir MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 37 installs a week from npm. Last commit 21 Sep 2026.
Motion sensor for AI agents: tells when a screen region changes or goes still. Scores, never pixels.
Today is the operative word: we check Pir MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
