Ascii Art — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Ascii Art?
Ascii Art 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 ascii-art-mcp was installed 18 times last week.
How do I connect Ascii Art?
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 ascii-art-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Ascii Art?
The npm package ascii-art-mcp was installed 18 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Ascii Art open source?
Yes — it is published under the NOASSERTION licence, written in HTML and 1 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.
