Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Boltwork every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: NWC_CONNECTION_STRING (Nostr Wallet Connect string (e.g. from Alby or Mutiny). Required if not using Phoenixd.), PHOENIXD_URL (Phoenixd base URL e.g. http://localhost:9740. Required if not using NWC.), PHOENIXD_PASSWORD (Phoenixd HTTP Basic auth password. Required if using Phoenixd.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Boltwork — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Boltwork?

Boltwork 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 boltwork-mcp was installed 180 times last week.

How do I connect Boltwork?

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 boltwork-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Boltwork?

The pypi package boltwork-mcp was installed 180 times in the last week. Week over week that is -26%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Boltwork 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.
