Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Agentsbestfriend 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: ABF_PROJECT_ROOT (The root directory of the project that the server will interact with. Defaults to the current working directory if not set.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Agentsbestfriend — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Agentsbestfriend?

Agentsbestfriend 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 agentsbestfriend was installed 68 times last week.

How do I connect Agentsbestfriend?

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 agentsbestfriend straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Agentsbestfriend?

The npm package agentsbestfriend was installed 68 times in the last week. Week over week that is -3%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Agentsbestfriend open source?

We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
