Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add directus-mcp-server -- npx -y @staminna/directus-mcp-server
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "directus-mcp-server": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@staminna/directus-mcp-server"
      ],

      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: DIRECTUS_URL (URL of the Directus instance), DIRECTUS_TOKEN (Static Directus access token). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Directus MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Directus MCP Server?
Directus MCP Server 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 npm package @staminna/directus-mcp-server was installed 96 times last week.
How do I connect Directus MCP Server?
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 @staminna/directus-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Directus MCP Server?
The npm package @staminna/directus-mcp-server was installed 96 times in the last week. Week over week that is +62%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Directus MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
