What the code does

We read the source, 13 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Page executes code built at runtime server/src/get-started.html:830

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

Nothing serious here today

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

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 snapstate -- npx -y snapstate-sdk
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snapstate": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "snapstate-sdk"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.snapstate]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "snapstate-sdk"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snapstate": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "snapstate-sdk"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }

        "-y",
        "snapstate-sdk"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: SNAPSTATE_API_URL (SnapState API URL), SNAPSTATE_API_KEY (Your SnapState API key (starts with snp_)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Snapstate — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Snapstate?
Snapstate 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 snapstate-sdk was installed 25 times last week.
How do I connect Snapstate?
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 snapstate-sdk straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Snapstate?
The npm package snapstate-sdk was installed 25 times in the last week. Week over week that is +10%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Snapstate open source?
We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript and 7 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
